Berman Leads In Westfield Mayor Election

UPDATE: Democrat Jeremy Berman leads the Westfield Mayor race as of the latest unofficial results on Wednesday. All districts have reported, according to the Union County Clerk's Office.

WESTFIELD, NJ — The polls are closed and the results are being tallied for the Westfield Mayor battle at the ballot box.

Two candidates are on the ballot, looking to win the four-year term.

Among the major issues on the minds of voters is public safety. The Westfield Police Department continues to work on reducing the number of high-end cars being broken into each year.

Another sticking point voters are looking for more answers on is overdevelopment. Projects like One Westfield Place have been met with legal challenges and continue to cause division among the residents, advocacy organizations, and the town.

List of candidates:

• Jeremy Berman (Democrat)
• Michal Domogala (Republican)
