HACKENSACK, N.J. -- Mayor John Labrosse -- first elected in 2013 as a reformer after the city became a laughing stock known as "Zisaville" -- won another 4-year term on Tuesday to lead the City Council.
Labrosse, Deputy Mayor Kathleen Canestrino, Councilman Leo Battaglia, Councilwoman Stephanie Von Rudenborg and newcomer Gerard Carroll scored a clean sweep in the nonpartisan election.
Here is part of their statement as posted on the campaign's Facebook page late Tuesday night, as well as the official results as certified by the City Clerk's Office:
"It's a Clean Sweep.
"Today, Hackensack voters spoke loud and clear that they want to keep moving forward and let the Labrosse Team finish the job of revitalizing our city and building a brighter future for all residents."
Low turnout
Labrosse was the top vote getter with 1,879 votes in a city with 27,365 registered voters as of May 6, 2021, according to the Hackensack City Clerk's Office, which certified the election.
Hackensack residents would rather bitch, bitch, bitch than vote, vote, vote.
The official results for all candidates appear below.
Officials said 3,133 voters went to the polls on Tuesday, but the number of returned mail-in ballots wasn't available.
