Democrats won a crucial local race in Evesham tonight, defeating a longtime GOP Mayor and winning control of the Council. Randy Brown, a former NFL Assistant Coach, defeated Mayor Gus Tamburro, 51.5%-48.3%.
Councilwoman Bonnie Olt and runnng mate Cliff Rickards -- running with Tamburro -- were defeated by Chris Brown and John McKenna.
Brown, who managed Tamburro's re-election campaign four years ago, won 3,690 to 3,463. The Council candidates won by an even larger margin.
"A big win and a clean sweep for Democrats," said Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan. "We had the best candidates who are on the right side of the issues but it was hard working Democrats who converted those advantages into victory."

Great news! Maybe one day
Great news!
Maybe one day Burlington County can look like their southern neighbor Camden County.
Great news!
What all be in Jail?
What a way to go just like Camden County. Spoken like a true Camden County idiot.Â
The problem here for Republicans, as well as all over the state, these old guys just won't give it up.
So please try and at least act or talk somewhat intelligent, as I know for NJ Democrats that is hard to do.Â
You want to talk intelligence?
At least Democrats understand that the universe is older than 6000 years of age.
