Old Guard soldier Jamie Cryan declares victory for Stick Romano
According to a tweet by West New York Parking Director Jamie Cryan, Anthony “Stick” Romano is re-elected as Freeholder in the Democratic primary. The November election is viewed as anti-climatic to the primary tonight.
The Facebook page for Stick Romano is also declaring victory. The VBMs look to be holding a major advantage and Hoboken voters appear to be in short supply today.
Romano’s statement on Facebook:
“This is not about my victory but our victory! This is not my town but our town! Thank you to all my supporters!”
