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.”
