Gordon Johnson, a former law enforcement officer who has served in the state Assembly for 19 years, won Tuesday s primary battle to succeed Bergen County Democratic stalwart Loretta Weinberg in the state Senate.
Johnson, 71, won 75% of the vote with all the precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press, which called the race at about 11 p.m. As my mentor (Weinberg) said, there is no I in the legislature, and there certainly was no I in this campaign either, Johnson said in a statement, thanking those who worked on his campaign. This seat belongs to the people and this night belongs to them as well.
