Politicians said this election season was 'very difficult' because of storm.
After millions of New Jersey residents spent most of last week without power, gas, and even lost their homes, Tuesday’s general election was likely the farthest from their minds. But for politicians who have continued to campaign through the storm, the election has remained a focus. “It’s been a very, very difficult procedure because of the storm,” Essex County Freeholder Vice President Patricia Sebold said. Sebold is the Democratic chairwoman in Livingston and has helped local candidates with their own races. She said her candidates have struggled to reach voters as power outages have stopped their printer, in Irvington, from producing mailers. “I’ve never experienced anything like this ever, in all my years of being involved in politics…

Basic restoration is ongoing and we have made remarkable progress, but it will be some time before things in town are back to the way they were before the hurricane.

Our DPW Superintendent John Lynch and the DPW crew have not stopped working. Thanks to volunteers who just showed up. Volunteers like resident Greg Horn who simply appeared at the firehouse to help serve hot meals to fatigued fire fighters and DPW crews who remained on duty 24/7. We ran Borough Hall and the Firehouse on generators. The Borough lost power, telephone and email. Cell phone service became sporadic. …
