Independent Bergen County Sheriff candidate and Saddle Brook Police Chief Robert Kugler filed a complaint against Bergen Clerk John Hogan, citing, among other points, ballot issues and an unfair nominating process.

Kugler is seeking to have the election declared invalid.

Kugler said, “I have seen way too many irregularities in the hurried processes for nomination and election of the next Bergen County Sheriff. This initiative is designed to preserve fundamental fairness and freedoms for future candidates and elections for public office, and especially for public safety offices such as Sheriff.  There’s way too much at stake for the public safety of the nearly one million people of Bergen County if I don’t.”
