Election Results: William Laforet Wins Mahwah Mayoral Race

MAHWAH, N.J. —William Laforet won the Mahwah mayoral election Tuesday.

John Roth, the Township Council president, ran on a platform of reform, promising to bring honesty and integrity back to the township's highest office.

Similarly, Councilman Jonathan Wong promised more transparency in municipal government if elected.

Laforet ran on the promising of keeping taxes low and bringing more businesses to town.

Here are results:

It has been a tumultuous time in office for Laforet, who was the subject of a recall last year due to the impromptu firing of the late Ed Sinclair, a political adversary and former director of the Department of Public Works. Sinclair later died of a heart attack. His family later filed a $60 million lawsuit against the township.
