| | Freeholder (funcionario del gobierno del condado) | Explanation:
A "Freeholder" is a county government official in New Jersey. Since it's specific to a single state in the US, I very much doubt there's a specific term for it in Spanish (all the translations I've found in the Internet are dubious at best). That's why I suggest leaving it as-is, with an explanation in brackets.

Sorry, "all the translations I've found on the Internet". That's what happens when you delete part of a sentence and rewrite it somewhat differently afterwards. :-) |
