Golabek will be Elmwood Park mayor for rest of year

Elmwood Park Democrats are expected to pick acting mayor Dan Golabek to serve out the remainder of Francisco Caramagna’s term, the New Jersey Globe has learned.

Golabek, a 24-year-old law student, became acting mayor earlier this month when Caramagna resigned his post after being charged with tampering with vote-by-mail ballots.

Caramagna’s name remains on the ballot in the June Democratic primary.  He has not yet announced whether he would withdraw from the race or seek re-election to a second term anyway.
