Along with Chris Tully, a former Bergenfield Borough Council president, they will be sworn in on May 17 to fill seats vacated by Joseph Lagana and Tim Eustace. Lagana resigned from the Assembly to replace Sen. Bob Gordon, after Gordon resigned his seat to become a member of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
