November 4, 2007. Election Day is less than two days away. Tuesday, November 6, 2007 will be one year since Steven McCormick won his 2nd Ward Council seat in Harrison beating incumbent and regular Democratic candidate, Arthur Pettigrew. Pettigrew displayed his lucky duck to the press last year. It is not clear whether Pettigrew plans to bring out the lucky duck this year.
Steven McCormick last year ran on the former Councilman Anselmo Millan’s ticket. McCormick has taken over Millan’s role in being the lone voice on the council that raises issues publically and refuses to go along with Mayor Raymond McDonough on various issues. McCormick seeks on Tuesday to get some help on the council by electing his wife Maria McCormick (2nd Ward Candidate);, Maria Camano (1st Ward); Michelle Scrimo (3rd Ward) and Joseph Wood (4th Ward). Both Camano and Wood ran unsuccessfully last year with McCormick on the Millan Team Ticket (see election results by scrolling down). Scrimo is a write-in candidate. Scrimo entered the race less than two weeks ago but has strong ties in the 3rd Ward.
What are McCormick’s chances? From the looks of it, McCormick’s Team has picked up steam since the October 22, 2007 front page publication of a Star Ledger article entitled "Little Town a Big Target in hunt for corruption". McDonough denied any wrong doing in an Observer article of October 24, 2007 entitled "Star Ledger reports are false". McDonough stated that there were no subpoenas served on Harrison and no one was interviewed by authorities.
November 6, 2007. Maria McCormick, Council candidate in the 2nd Ward in Harrison will join her husband Steven McCormick on the Council after her victory tonight. All other McDonough candidates won their elections. McDonough's third ward candidate, Fransisco Nascimento won by 149 votes but lost the Gardens district with write in candidate Michele Scrimo receiving a reported 141 write-in votes.
The election results were as follows:
