WESTFIELD – The
Republican slate swept all four council races in Westfield,
amassing an aggregate of 4,348 votes to the Democrats’ 2,916.
By 9 p.m. on
Tuesday, with all precincts unofficially reporting tallies, the
throng at the James Ward Mansion cheered as Republicans Frank
Arena, Jo Ann Neylan, Mark Ciarrocca and James Foerst were
declared victors.
The sweep
guarantees a 6-2 Republican-controlled council through 2009.
Also winning
re-election Tuesday night, Assemblyman Jon Bramnick (LD-21),
chairman of the Westfield Republicans, told the crowd at the
Ward Mansion that the GOP ticket was "built on hard
work."
Republican
representative Keith Loughlin said, "The voters have spoken…[The
Republican candidates] have worked their tails off."
Mayor Andy Skibitsky, up for
reelection in 2009, touted the "great job" of the
incumbents, which "makes my job as mayor very, very
easy."
