<p><strong>RIDGEWOOD, NJ&nbsp;</strong>— Yesterday, January 6, 2025, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05) administered the oath of office for Ridgewood, NJ Mayor Paul Vagianos.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“After all Paul Vagianos has done for Jersey, it’s clear that he is incredibly dedicated to making Ridgewood an even better and safer community for its thousands of families,”&nbsp;<strong>said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5).&nbsp;</strong>“Paul has worked hard to lower taxes and costs for Jersey families, remove dangerous forever chemicals out of our drinking water, and support small businesses in downtown Ridgewood. After being reelected to a second term, I know he will continue fighting for our shared Jersey Values.”</p>
