In the November 2010 election, Republican committeeman Rudy Boonstra (with 3,691 votes) won re-election to a second term over Democratic challenger Henry Velez (who earned 2,086 votes). 34.77% of Wyckoff voters turned out for the election. During the campaign, Boonstra stressed his experience, touted his fiscal conservatism (including having successfully refunded $300,000 in surplus library funds to taxpayers), supported open-space preservation (specifically pointing to Russell Farms and Maple Lake), opposed high-density COAH housing, pledged to align future projects like the Christian Health Care Center and ShopRite with Wyckoff's "small town charm", and advocated for pursuing grants to be used for township parks and recreation improvements; Velez promoted the proposed Christian Health Care Center as a "win-win" that provided open space as well as high-density senior housing, promised to address traffic and road safety issues, and expressed concern over Wyckoff's affordability — especially for seniors and individuals on a fixed income.
