HAWTHORNE Six candidates, including two incumbents, are vying for half as many Republican nominations in a Borough Council primary on Tuesday.
Councilmen Bruce Bennett and Dominic Mele formed a team with Anna Marie Sasso, a real estate broker. They are being challenged by Michael Doyle, a former school board trustee, and Jay Shortway, whose family has owned the eponymous bar and restaurant on Goffle Road for decades.
Rounding out the crowded field is Philip Speulda, a retired businessman.
Next week s GOP showdown reflects only part of the interest in three vacancies on the seven-person council. Each at-large seat comes with a four-year term.

HAWTHORNE, NJ - Election season might seem a little distant as the winter snows finally start to vanish, but in Hawthorne the political parties are already preparing for the new leadership contests. With the mayor and three at-large council positions up for grabs, the voters will have a choice for who to best represent them.
Craig Cayetano, who had previously run for Ward 3 Councilman, has announced he will be seeking office again as an independent Green Party candidate, presenting another option for Hawthorne voters who are either unaffiliated or unsatisfied with the Republican and Democrat nominees.
