Demarest — After a victory in the Democratic primary, Demarest resident Dennis Shulman is gearing up to face his Republican opponent Scott Garrett (R-NJ) in November.

Shulman defeated two Democrats in the June 3 primary to become the Democratic nominee for New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District, which includes Bergen, Passaic, Sussex and Warren counties. He captured 61 percent of the vote while Camille Abate got 32 percent and Roger Bacon received 7 percent.
