Outgoing Assemblywoman Annette Chaparro (D-33) has indicated that she plans on serving her constituents until her term ends at the end of the year, vowing to still aid her community after the fact, in light of the county Democrats backing John Allen for Assembly.

“While my work is far from over, I wanted to thank the voters of the 33rd District for entrusting me to be their voice in Trenton for what will be eight years of service to the people of Hoboken, Jersey City, Union City, and Weehawken,” Chaparro, first elected in 2015, said in a lengthy statement.
“As announcements regarding the political future of my seat were made, I wanted to let everyone know that I am committed to a hard-working 2023 and will still help my community in any capacity I can going forward.”
Chaparro, who also works at Hoboken City Hall, continued that she believes she brought a unique perspective to the legislature since she is a single mom who was born and raised in the Hoboken Housing Authority.
She also promised to help make it a smooth transition for the new legislators, indicating that she was happy to see a Latina, Jessica Ramirez, running to fill Raj Mukherji’s Assembly seat as he runs for the Senate in the new 32nd Legislative District.
Allen, a close ally of Mayor Ravi Bhalla, was formally named as the HCDO’s Assembly pick out of Hoboken at a press conference yesterday.
A former assistant corporation counsel for the city who left at the end of last year in anticipation of his Assembly bid, Allen thanked Chaparro for her service during his remarks.
Chaparro, who was selected for the seat by former Mayor Dawn Zimmer and largely able to stick around due to state Senator Brian Stack’s (D-33) political sway, did not mention Bhalla, Allen, or Ramirez by name when addressing the situation.
“I’ve been happy to be a partner with all the mayors in my District, especially Mayor Dawn Zimmer, who encouraged me to seek this position. It has been the blessing of a lifetime to serve my community,” she said, thanking Stack as well.
” … My work isn’t done in the Assembly, and it won’t be done when my term ends. I still want to be a voice for all the people who need help in my community. But as plans for the future are announced, I wanted to simply say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me on this journey.”
After legislative redistricting in February, the new LD-32 will consist of Hoboken and the Journal Square, Heights, and Downtown section of Jersey City, while the new LD-33 will include North Hudson (Weehawken, West New York, Union City, North Bergen, and Guttenberg) and Secaucus.
As rumors swirled about her getting replaced in June, Chaparro said at the time that she wanted to “let the voters decide on any political future.”
Assemblywoman Annette Chaparro would make an excellent Hoboken City Councilwoman or even mayor
I am more concerned about the fact that we no longer have elections – only appointments. Why is this seemingly well respected public servant being pushed to the side in favor of someone who has not made a case for what he will do better or different?
The key word here is “seemingly”. I have yet to see anyone cite something that the Assemblywoman actually did for constituents. What legislation did she actually take lead sponsorship on? You talk about politics being appointment-led but should we also reward people for mediocrity?
Councilwoman Annette Chapparo is the way of Ravi Bhalla’s long time City Hall political fixer John Allen who also works for Bhalla’s second job law firm all “seemingly” coincidental. His “private” work for those businesses in front Hoboken boards has been repeatedly been questioned by many on ethical grounds.
Replacing a very well liked hispanic woman elected with a very privileged, politically connected white male might be bad optics to for Ravi Bhalla’s progressive agenda supporters but political debts need to be paid.
Why does Ravi hate Hispanics replacing a female Hispanic legislator with his corrupt buddy?
Chaparro would do a better job than DeFusco. Maybe she will be the Bhalla candidate this November.
Former DeFusco supporters are lining up for Chaparro.
She will show up.
And she wont rent out her apartment on Air BnB
Where is the outcry? Ravi Bhalla is forcing out a HISPANIC woman who has represented her constituents with integrity, with a politically connect WHITE attorney with questionable (at best) ethics. John Allen’s law firm received nearly $4 million in contracts while Bhalla was council president. He then lost a city council race and was rewarded with a 6 figure chief of staff position, and was then appointed corporation counsel. While corporation counsel, he accepted a second position at guess where? Ravi Bhalla’s law firm – raising more ethics/legal questions. He is a modern day Pete Cammarano.
There’s no outrage because there’s a much bigger story!
Roman knows who Q is. Repeat, Roman knows who Q is.
News vans from every major network are parked outside his sub-basement apartment begging for an interview. They gave him the code name Deep Lyme when he broke the story last week.
Check this out. 55 pages of books about Qanon.

But guess who got to the bottom of of Q’s identity without leaving his basement? Roman! Same way he diagnosed Damar Hamlin’s injury without having any medical background of his own or waiting to hear what any doctors actually treating the player had to say. You can’t get to be more of a stable genius than that!
Here’s the proof:
“Q was a grift. I actually interviewed the guy who started it.”

Apparently, the stupid Ravibots think anyone who points out the obvious, that Ravi undermined a Hispanic woman to put in a white entitled lawyer insider on his team means it’s Hoboken Horse.
Really stupid. Edwards Edwards is not The Horseman but boy does that guy live rent free in your head. Did he uncover some Ravi corruption that you can’t get over? Sure looks that way.
Do you need to go anywhere to read about world-famous Dr. McCullough, epidemiologist, and one of the most published cardiologists in America on the latest suddenly dropping dead victims, like Damar Hamlin? Many cardiologists point to this and growing incidents as being induced by the experimental mRNA injections.
The Pfizer paid media pushed the wrong lies on Hamlin! No surprise.

Annette sucks. Clueless and useless
In all seriousness she should be no where near elected office.
Councilwoman Annette Chapparo is the way of Ravi Bhalla’s long time City Hall political fixer John Allen who also works for Bhalla’s second job law firm all “seemingly” coincidental. His “private” work for those businesses in front Hoboken boards has been repeatedly been questioned by many on ethical grounds.
Replacing a very well liked hispanic woman elected with a very privileged, politically connected white male might be bad optics to for Ravi Bhalla’s progressive agenda supporters but political debts need to be paid.
Hoboken voters actually when asked said John Allen should be no where elected office but that is why his law firm colleague Ravi Bhalla has been handing him City hall staff jobs with ever increasing taxpayer paid compensation.
The weird thing is that with all his time on their payroll Hoboken voters still have no idea what he does or even who he is.
This whole maneuver from the HCDO is on brand. No surprise.
