One local New Jersey election to make note of: out lesbian Julia Fahl defeated mayor David DelVecchio, in office for 27 years, and will become mayor of Lambertville, New Jersey.
The New Jersey Globe reports: “Fahl won by 145 votes, 757 to 631 – a decisive 55%-45% win in the small but prestigious town of just less than 4,000 people. She ran a mostly positive campaign calling for new ideas and different approaches to local issues…Fahl worked as a fundraiser for Phil Murphy's 2017 gubernatorial campaign. Her campaign for mayor was managed by her wife, Kari Osmond, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman's district director and a former chief of staff to Assemblyman Reed Gusciora.”
