Stephanie Lagos (D) is next mayor of Bordentown City
Stephanie Lagos, the chief of staff to First Lady Tammy Murphy, is expected to become the new mayor of Bordentown City after emerging as the top vote-getter in a race for the three city commissioner seats.
Local tradition dictates that the candidate who receives the most votes becomes mayor.
Lagos, who is also Gov. Phil Murphy’s deputy chief of staff, finished first with 1,153 votes, and current mayor Jen Sciortino finished second with 982 votes. Grace Archer (834) leads Edward Foley IV (825) by nine votes in a contest for the third commissioner seat. A fifth candidate, Sean Reiter, has 509 votes.
Sciortino is also a top aide to Murphy.
