In Bayonne, two council candidates tied for runoff slot
There are about 60 provisional ballots still in play in Bayonne’s Ward 2, where two candidates are tied for second place and a shot at a runoff berth in June.
The top vote-getter is Melissa Godesky-Rodriguez, who received 1,326 votes (42%). She needed 1,577 to win the seat outright in Tuesday’s non-partisan municipal election.
Salvatore Gullace and Omar Elgarhi each have 820 votes. Gullace, a former councilman, ran with mayoral candidate Loyad Booker.
The incumbent Ward 2 councilwoman, Jacqueline Weimmer, did not seek re-election.
