Our New County Commissioner: Liz Graner

June 28, 2025

Bernards Township’s very own Elizabeth Graner was sworn in as Somerset County’s newly appointed Commissioner on June 24, 2025.

Former Commissioner Doug Singleterry was required to resign following his appointment to the state judiciary on Monday, June 2, 2025. This triggered a special election by the Somerset County Democratic Committee. At the time of the vote, there was one other candidate, Daryl Eisenberg Knegten, who then decided to voice her support for Ms. Graner. Thus, a vote by acclamation was held and all present voted for Ms. Graner.

Graner, a Basking Ridge resident, has been an English teacher at Rahway Public Schools since 2001 and sat on the Somerset County Board of Taxation from 2022-2025. She previously served on Somerset County’s Commission on the Status of Women and is also a graduate of the County’s Leadership program, Leadership Somerset.

Liz served as Chair of the Bernards Township Democratic Committee from 2020-2023 and is still a county committee member of the BTDC.
