Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and his slate have combined for $171,446.71 cash on hand, while the opposing Independently Together slate banked $20,557.08, according to campaign finance records released today.

After a big second quarter where the mayor raised $87,994 and had $191,279.91 COH, Bhalla raised just $10,504 in quarter 3, according to his October 7th report filed with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission.
Given that he’s running unopposed, the incumbent had little incentive to fundraise for himself and had enough on reserve to comfortably spend $44,104.75, the filing shows, leaving him with $157,379.16 at his disposal.
He donated $20,000 to his council slate, which consists of Councilwoman-at-Large Emily Jabbour, Councilman-at-Large Jim Doyle, and first time candidate Joe Quintero on September 20th.
Jabbour also put an additional $5,000 from her personal account on the same day. She also received a $313 donation from 3rd Ward Councilman Mike Russo on September 28th.
Their filing from the same day indicates $14,067.55 COH. It also shows that Vijay Chaudhuri, their campaign manager, was paid $10,000 the following day.
Their only slate challenge, the IT team of Cheryl Fallick, Sheila Brennan, and Paul Presinzano, raised $22,347.27 in the third quarter and only spent $1,1790.19, their October 4th ELEC report says.
The team has done some self-financing to date, with Brennan chipping in $6,000, and Fallick contributing $4,000. Presinzano also contributed $8,000 to the team account from his personal campaign account.
Independent candidate, Play! Hoboken owner Ian Rintel, loaned himself $25,000 on September 18th and has spent $5,174.80 so far, based on his October 8th ELEC filing.
Another independent candidate, Cindy Wiegand, has loaned herself $1,000 and only gone through $109.52 in expenditures so far, according to her October 4th report.
Manny Solar Rivera, who is also running on his own, filed an A-1 report with ELEC on September 27th, indicating that he would not spend more than $5,800 in this election cycle.
He has not filed anything since then, while Pat Waiters, who is also running for school board, has not filed any paperwork for the 2021 election cycle, ELEC’s online database shows.
The non-partisan Hoboken municipal elections where three council-at-large seats are up for grabs are on November 2nd and today is the last day to register to vote.
Ya gotta hand it to Michael Russo. He can sniff out the candidate most easy to control and tosses his lot behind that one. Target in question, Emily Jabbour. BULLSEYE!
LOL…yeah, Mikey’s $300 is really gonna influence legislation!
Or maybe it’ll be used to cover shipping costs on the tERroR flYEr!!
Why do you think everyone is the Horse? That’s so stupid.
We all know about the Ravi Terror Flyer. Ask anyone at City Hall. The only denials you’ll get are from the usual suspects.
life is passing you by!
Everyone at city hall knows about the terror flier! But the city, county and Fed LE forgot to ask them. That’s the only reason everyone isn’t in prison. You heard it here first on Incels for Jen Radio!

Let’s have Ravi take a lie detector on that little Terror Flier operation. Then you can follow him and be tested. The results would be fascinating.
You linked to a video discussion about legal filings on election irregularities last year with Horsey. There’s nothing about any January 6th protests. Gosh, you Ravi political operatives are clueless.
Yes a lie detector test will prove that I haven’t been making everything up! Until then take my word for it! I’m trustworthy!

Cry more. Your criminal boss is exposed and so are you and the political operative underlings. You can’t lie and distract your way out of it. Nice try, not!
Everyone is a paid operative except me! #StopTheSteal! The audit will be here soon from Maricopa County and prove #TrumpWon!

Ravi & Russo are like two peas in a pod. Emily got infected. She actually listens to Russo. Sad.
This is a hot jam!

The Russo Crime Syndicate never ever gives out cash. They specialize in cash collection.
You’re correct this speaks volumes and of course you can see the shrieking as this is exposed with the Ravi Terror Flier. They are hysterical from the Catskills to the Ravi political operatives in Hoboken. Why? The criminal statute of limitations is not up. They will attack anyone who points out the truth. They were either complicity involved and/or they all know. So does City Hall, the mayor’s office of course and the entire City Council. Talk to them individually and you’ll get the truth from most. They got caught pulling the same inside job in Edison, NJ during that election cycle. Find the link from that political operation effort to the Hoboken mayor’s office. It’s in plain sight.
Yes Definately! All you have to do is ask anyone in city hall or the entire city council. It’s right there in plain sight. But I’m too busy to provide the evidence and LE keeps forgetting to ask. Otherwise everyone would be behind bars! So just trust me! I have a cool friend with a shaved head and sunglasses indoors. Why would i lie? #StopTheSteal!

@CE, people get sued for saving stuff like that. You of all people should know better.
*saying*
Support for the IT slate is overwhelming! When you account for the self-financing of $18K, their supporters really generously rallied around them with that $2.5K, which really was only $1,250 after their “donor” did the $2 for $1 match. Really super impressive!
I think Jabbour is the gold standard on the City Council and Russo understands that. The real benefit of the 300 bucks to her is not cash but making his endorsement public to every B&R in Hoboken.
Methinks it’s also a finger to the Fisher cabal if/when he’s the council’s swing vote.
Definitely, Russo will cash in big on the Russo-Ravi Alliance. Emily is just a puppet. She clearly knows nothing of Hoboken’s recent past and the Russo Crime Syndicate. Utterly clueless.
Little Emily is a Russo Crime Family Puppet. Noted.
Ha-ha. They’ve all got his # and this just puts an exclamation point on the end of the sentence.
The gold standard in Russo’s mind is Russo. Don’t you know that? Everything else is a calculation. Emily is just a patsy. She’s Ravi’s patsy too. Every corrupt politician needs an emily.
lol
Some are noting the obvious. It’s so obvious that Russo is playing the game to be top of the mountain and trade off Hoboken with Ravi for whatever is not nailed down.
Emily is just a helpless girl who doesn’t understand the past or know how to think for herself. That’s why MEN control her so easily. That is our message at Misogynists for Tiff.

There are no votes to be won or lost on this site but it certainly provides an opportunity for the leader of the real dooduses of Hoboken to Try to hone his doofus credentials.
But I really wish he’d try out some new material. The old stuff wasn’t particularly good when it was fresh and it really hasn’t aged well
but those days have long passed. he’s a social and political outcast in Hoboken, rebranded himself as a far, far right wing conspiracy nutter whose deranged and nasty obsessions border on threatening. The mayor would be wise to get a restraining order against this psycho.
Cry more loser.
If you add loans as “receipts”, you need to subtract them as debt from the campaign’s net total funds. Per ELEC, Independently Together’s net worth is $10,557.08.
(That includes $8,000 from candidate Presinzano)
If you are not wealthy like Cheryl claims not to be well explain how does she have the money to LOAN? Does Brennan live here full time or in one other many homes in other towns?
