| Mayor Wildes and the "Sugar Hill Gang" Celebrate
David Gunthorpe, noted performer and Vice President of the Sugar Hill Gang (right of Mayor) celebrated with Mayor Wildes at the Mayors’ Pre-election Gathering. The event was attended by hundreds of adults and kids immediately preceding the election. The entire Sugar Hill Gang---who hail from Englewood---came out in full to support the Mayor who handsomely defeated two opponents and earned himself a second term.
Mayor Michael Wildes clinched a second mayoral term Tuesday,
beating independent Democratic challenger Bob Stern, 4,379 to 2,325.
"I'm humbled by the outstanding support," said Wildes, an immigration
lawyer and national Democratic fund-raiser.
Republican businessman Baruch Y. "Bruce" Prince trailed with 372
votes. In the council race, Assemblyman Gordon Johnson sailed to victory,
beating first-time Republican candidate Harry Kanner, 4,852 to 1,377.
The five-member council remains uniformly Democratic. But Johnson,
a former Bergen County sheriff and Englewood cop, will join his political
allies to form a four-member majority bloc. That could politically isolate
4th Ward Councilman Jack Drakeford. The bloc is united by its opposition
to Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph Ferriero and its cautionary
approach to the building boom.
