Longtime congressman and former mayor of Paterson, Bill Pascrell, Democrat, has defeated his main opponent Shmuley Boteach, Republican, in the 9th District congressional race.
Despite large contributions from a Las Vegas billionaire, Mr Boteach fared badly against the wildly popular Democrat.
Mr Pascrell received 77 percent of the total votes; Mr Boteach only 22 percent, giving the former a landslide victory.
