Mayor Tony Vauss of Irvington smashed his way to victory tonight – 3,457 to 822.

“He just could not beat me,” Vauss said of longtime rival and former Councilman Paul Inman. “He got fewer votes than his running mates. They did everything he could. Sometimes you’re in a bubble and you believe the people around you.”

The leader of Team Irvington Strong commanded a sweep in the Essex County town.
