THE RECORD
Democrats retained control of the Bergen County Freeholder board on Tuesday, and their party’s 5-2 majority, as incumbents David Ganz and Joan Voss won re-election.
Voss thanked supporters as they celebrated at the Hasbrouck Heights Hilton and said, “This has been my 11th campaign and thank God I’ve been able to win them.”
The campaign took her and her running mates to nearly all 70 of Bergen County’s towns, she said.

“The people are incredible,” Voss said. “They listened to our message. They knew what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go.”
The two Republican candidates, Robert Avery and Bernadette Walsh, conceded defeat at about 10 p.m., when Ganz and Voss held a lead of about 4,000 votes with about 80 percent of the vote counted.
“At this point this looks like a lead that we’re not going to be able to overcome,” Walsh said. She said she had no regrets about the campaign. “It’s been spectacular,” Walsh said. “I enjoyed every minute of it.”

No problem, lots of community work in the Village to be done. Perhaps, that should be the best place to re-start. Hang in there Bernie, says Dom.
Should Bernie chose to, she could be back on the council and maybe even in the big chair. Hmmm, if she chooses to?
Bernie, good job try again you should make it now that voters know who you are.
I hope that she runs again. The Democrats had name recognition. She is making a name for herself.
Good for you Dom. There hope for you yet.
She conceded at Kings Supermarket????
Joan Voss should remove herself….thanks for the memories.
we still have over 65 police chiefs and 70 school board superintendents in Bergen… what a waste off taxpayer dollars. Home rule is just an excuse for poor governance, overlap & excessive waste, and big pensions for all of the sernior brass. Local & county taxpayers are being taxed to death to fund all of this overlap in services. So many services should be shared, but no one wants to give up their fiefdoms.
