TRENTON – State Sen. Barbara Buono submitted $131,391 in privately raised contributions for public matching funds for the primary election, according to state election officials.

The Citizens For Change team in Hackensack swept to victory tonight winning all five four-year council seats.

The team of John Labrosse, Kathleen Canestrino, Leo Battaglia, David Earl Sims and Rose Greenman won a convincing victory, with more than 350 votes separating the top vote getters from each slate.

Downtown Jersey City Councilman Steve Fulop unseated incumbent Jerry Healy in a hard fought and at times nasty mayoral contest.

What many thought would be a close race ended up in a landslide victory for Fulop who pulled in more than 52 percent of the vote to Healy's 38 percent.  Jerry Walker received about 8 percent of the vote.

The size of the loss stunned Healy's supporters, who said they felt confident going into the day.

In Healy, Fulop defeated a two-term incumbent, a difficult feat in any election, but one that was made all the more impressive by the breadth of Healy endorsements, including a nearly unprecedented nod from President Obama.
