Clarkin departs after decade as Parsippany Dem chairman

Michael Clarkin has stepped down as chairman of the Parsippany Democratic Party after a decade in the role. His departure was announced during a recent party meeting.

Clarkin had led the local Democratic organization since 2014, overseeing multiple election cycles in the politically active Morris County township. Under his leadership, the party worked to build its presence in Parsippany.

A successor has not yet been named. The party is expected to hold elections for a new chair in the coming weeks. Clarkin's exit marks the end of a significant tenure for the local party.
