Biography
Mazzeo is part owner of B.F. Mazzeo, a grocery store.[1] Prior to serving as mayor, Mazzeo was the president of the Northfield City Council.[2]
In the 2013 elections, Mazzeo ran for a seat in the General Assembly[3] and was declared the winner by 32 votes over Republican Party incumbent John F. Amodeo.[1][4] Amodeo filed for a recount after Mazzeo had been declared the winner by a margin of 38 votes among the more than 100,000 ballots cast[5] and conceded to Mazzeo shortly after a month-long process showed Mazzeo ahead by 51 votes.[6]
