Bergen Dems set date to replace Stellato

Bergen County Democrats will hold a special election on July 17 to pick a new county chairman.

Louis Stellato resigned last week after the State Senate confirmed his nomination to serve as a commissioner of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority.

Fairview Public Works Director Paul Juliano appears to be a lock to replace Stellato.

So far, Juliano is unopposed.  No nominations will be taken from the floor, according to acting county chair Balpreet Grewal-Virk.

The winner will serve the remainder of Stellato’s term, which runs until June 2020.
