93-Year-Old WWII Veteran Ousts Incumbent N.J. Mayor
by Kathryn Blackhurst | Updated 09 Nov 2017 at 6:52 AM

Vito Perillo, a 93-year-old World War II veteran, pulled off an Election Day upset Tuesday when he ousted Tinton Falls Mayor Gerald M. Turning in New Jersey.

Perillo, a U.S. Navy veteran who served in the Pacific theater, told the Asbury Park Press that he wore out two pairs of shoes while traipsing about the town and knocking on every single door to court voters. At the end of the day, Perillo snatched 53 percent of the vote with 2,449 votes to Turning’s 46 percent and 2,146 votes.

"To all my supporters who made your voices heard at the polls, I am profoundly grateful," Perillo wrote in a Facebook post. "I look forward to partnering with each and every resident of this great town, and creating the two-way dialogue that I spoke of throughout my campaign."

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
