The Bergen County Clerk website shows that Joseph Lagana lost Paramus to his Republican Challenger Richard Garcia. Garcia received 4,381 votes to Lagana’s 3,916.
Joseph Lagana was the incumbent. He had hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from special interest groups including the NJEA. He used his taxpayer funded office and taxpayer purchased stationary to promote himself and his running mates leading up to Election Day. He had politicians like Scott Luna and Marc Schrieks staging photo ops for him. With all those advantages, Joseph Lagana still lost his hometown of Paramus and would have lost District 38 handedly if the Bergen County Democratic Organization didn’t play games with vote by mail ballots.
More and more people are learning that Joseph Lagana is a self-serving phony that uses public office to enrich himself, his family, and close personal friend Joseph Garcia (Lodi Board of Education Attorney). Joseph Lagana has to carry Joseph Garcia from one political firm to the next where they rip off taxpayers and offer inferior legal services. You can’t even call it legal services. It’s nothing more than political consulting (the most unethical and expensive form of political consulting).
How can a State Senator purchase public contracts this way?
How can a State Senator take over one million dollars of public funds intended for small businesses hurt by covid shutdowns when his politician run firm was setting record profits?
How can a State Senator have his wife appointed as a Commissioner on the Board of Elections in the county in which he runs for office
Joseph Lagana represents everything wrong with New Jersey
government. I am glad more voters in his
hometown recognized that.
