Bergen County Freeholder David Ganz has agreed to serve as the next chairman when Democrats take control of the board in January.

Ganz, a Fair Lawn Democrat who is the senior freeholder with 10 years on the board, confirmed Friday that his Democratic colleagues have tapped him to serve as chairman and that Freeholder Joan Voss of Fort Lee to serve as vice-chairwoman.

“I hope that 2013 is a year of bipartisanship, of lower taxes and hard work by all the freeholders on the behalf of the people of Bergen County,” said Ganz, who has served longer than any Democrat in the history of the board.

The Democrats regained control of the board for the first time in two years with a 4-3 majority as a result of the Nov. 6 election of Tracy Silna Zur of Franklin Lakes and Steve Tanelli of North Arlington.
