Fort Lee's Joan Voss Sworn In As Freeholder

Former Democratic Assemblywoman Joan Voss of Fort Lee was sworn in as a Bergen County Freeholder in Hackensack Tuesday.

Voss, who chose to run for freeholder instead of challenging Democratic counterparts Gordon M. Johnson and Valerie Vainieri Huttle in District 37 after redistricting was announced last year, replaces Bernadette McPherson, (D-Rutherford). McPherson decided not to seek reelection after serving nine years on the board.

Voss and incumbent David Ganz of Fair Lawn bested Republicans Joel Brizzi of East Rutherford and Anthony Rottino of Franklin Lakes and Independent Edward Brunner in the General Election in November.

Republicans continue to hold a 5-2 majority on the board.

Donna Brennan captured these images of Voss's swearing in Tuesday.
