Hearing Date Set For Wyckoff Independent Committee Candidate Petition Challenge: Report

Superior Court Judge Estela Da La Cruz will hold a hearing July 30 to determine whether or not independent Town Committee candidate Thomas Madigan can remain on the November election ballot, NorthJersey.com reported.

Republican candidate Susan Yudin filed a suit challenging the validity of the signatures on Madigan’s petition to run for a committee seat. Madigan signed his own petition and one for Republican Mayor Kevin Rooney, who is also running.

Madigan has said his signatures on both petitions are valid because two committee seats are available to be won.

Bergen County Clerk John Hogan said in a letter to Madigan’s attorney that Madigan “satisfied the requirements (of filing a petition for general election) and that his name” may be placed on the November ballot.”
