Knudsen and Sedon received 2,723 and 2,588 votes, respectively. Jim Albano received 1,021 votes.
Voting results will be declared official after review by the Bergen County Board of Elections.
During her campaign, Knudsen, who serves as vice chair of the Ridgewood Board of Adjustment, displayed her knowledge of municipal concerns and issues, particularly addressing the potential of overdevelopment that might result from a hospital expansion and downtown multifamily housing projects. She was adamant when suggesting that Ridgewood consider repealing an ordinance that permits developers to apply for master plan changes.
Sedon had pledged his commitment to Ridgewood, saying he hoped to streamline local government in ways that would stabilize taxes while improving municipal services. A village resident for four years, Sedon noted that he grew fond of the municipality while an employee with The Ridgewood News.
Though Knudsen and Sedon did not formally create a ticket, several grassroots organizations linked the two through endorsements. Among the groups to support both candidates were the Citizens for a Better Ridgewood, Concerned Residents of Ridgewood, the Preserve Graydon Coalition and Ridgewood Eastside Development.

Good deal…
Very surprised the loser got so many votes.
Please to see that my two votes went the right and winning way.
I’m glad Sedon and Knudsen won, but the reality is that Albano is still way better than some current council members.
#4, that will be corrected in 2016 with people who are better than those three and him.
Amen #5. I’m counting down the days to 2016!!! Ba bye three amigos.
“Better” is a subjective term. Better for whom? As for these Council elections, turnout is always low and it’s simply about getting your base to go vote. I guess that being said, it’s “better” for those people.
Mr. Albano and Mr. Muzio learned that their voices are not listened to, and that they each only get one vote, just like the rest of us. Har de har har har.
Knudsen for Mayor
Mike for Mayor
