The Westwood council recently banned the sales of both recreational and medicinal marijuana. Dawson said the results of this election could switch the results, which she believes would be negligent to the town.
"I don't see it as a partisan issue, it's just a quality of life issue," Dawson said. "The majority of towns that have banned it have been of Democrat majority."
Elmwood Park, Saddle Brook, Hasbrouck Heights, Carlstadt, Clifton, East Rutherford, Franklin Lakes, Mahwah, Midland Park, North Haledon,Wayne, Upper Saddle River, and Wyckoff have all banned sales of recreational marijuana.
Meanwhile, Garfield, Lodi, Palisades Park, Hawthorne, Ringwood, Westwood and Wooodcliff Lake have banned both recreational and medical marijuana.
