It's octogenarian vs. septuagenarian in race for Bergen County Surrogate
Franklin Lakes Councilman Joseph S. Conte, a retired Superior Court judge, won the GOP nomination for surrogate on Tuesday, the New Jersey Globe projects.
Conte faced Daniel Ng, who initially had the backing of the Bergen GOP until Conte said he would enter the race.
As of 9:52 p.m., Conte leads Ng 10,870-3,431.
Conte is 82, and he will face Democrat Linda Schwager, the 77-year-old former mayor of Oakland.
