After West New York United campaign manager Pastor Rafael Sanchez, Jr. announced that Wiley was defeated by Roque by 727 votes, tears streamed down shocked and disappointed faces.
“We have our official results. The results show for the municipal election 2015 that we will remain with the same mayor for the next four years. We lost by 2 percent of the vote,†said Sanchez.
There were 19 candidates on the ballot, but most of the public concentrated on the rivalry between Wiley and Roque. Unofficial results show that Roque’s slate — Susan Colacurcio, Gabriel Rodriguez, Margarita Guzman and Cosmo Cirillo — swept Tuesday’s election.
Later this week, provisional or emergency ballots will be counted, according to the town clerk’s office.
As somber voters rallied together outside of the West New York United headquarters at 5808 Hudson Ave., Wiley said he had no regrets about this election, despite coming up short.
“The main thing is that I had a lot peace within myself because I gave everything I had. I have nothing to regret. I didn’t hold back. I made the sacrifice. I can’t say I didn’t do something I should’ve done. I was very competitive in this campaign.”
After proclaiming “I love you West New York,” chants of “Wiley!” filled the streets.
“They never thought I could come to this level and compete at this level … I spent eight years of my life, and I wish I could’ve taken it further, but this is what the people chose so this is what they got,” said Wiley.
West New York United commissioner candidate Mryli Sanchez said she felt voter complacency was the campaign’s biggest downfall.
These guys really are clueless.
Now Sanchez will get a big promotion at here town hall job. A few others will be hired Like Defino boy as he bragged that Scarinci was already promising him a job before Tuesday’s election ended. All the pay offs coming to the Wiley camp players…. Great Job Sacco giving us Roque again.
Danny Luis Man up and come clean now please…Mommy is watching you also.
Pat Cullen your the only one that Won fighting the Devil in WNY…………..
Thank U HudsonCountyView also for not selling out to Sacco/Sires/Roque and Turner so far….
The people of West New York are the big losers in this election.
Myrli will be losing that job since it was associated with Wiley. Can’t wait for both of them to move out of town hall. Anyone know when the installation of the new commissioners will be?
I predict Nicole Defino will jump in salary also soon. Fine example of whats wrong with WNY.
Count Wiley is such a hot beefcake! Mmm…look at that gold chain and unbuttoned shirt. Sooo hot. Beatrizzzzzz is so lucky
