“Casting a vote for Paul Presinzano gives you a strong advocate ensuring that your voice as a Hoboken resident is heard and prevents Mayor Bhalla from securing an automatic 5th and deciding vote on the City Council on issues that matter to the First Ward and across Hoboken,” Giattino said in a statement this morning.
Presinzano got about 48 percent of the vote in the November 7th election for a vacant seat with 1st Ward Councilman Mike DeFusco not seeking re-election.
He defeated Rafi Cordova, who is endorsed by Mayor Ravi Bhalla, and Leo Pellegrini, the former city health and human services director. However, since he did not secure 50 percent of the vote plus one, him and Cordova will go head to head next month in a runoff.
“Spend time with Paul and it’s clear within minutes that he’s deeply committed to the First Ward. He is an effective communicator who proactively seeks out issues and works to solve them, demonstrating genuine concern for our community,” Giattino added.
Highlighting specific contributions, Giattino also noted that Presinzano has provided scholarships to Hoboken High School graduates, aided seniors and vulnerable neighbors during a water main break by purchasing and distributing water bags, and actively volunteers at the Multi-Service center for senior programming.
“The First Ward and Hoboken need a dedicated, diligent, and determined representative. We need Paul Presinzano on our council, fighting for you every day, as an independent and trustworthy advocate,” Giattino stated.
“Your vote and your voice matter. The runoff election on December 5th is poised to be a pivotal moment in Hoboken’s representation, with the potential to shape the direction of the City Council.”
Go, Paul go!
I feel bad for Cheryl Fallick that all of her friends are supporting Paul Presinzano.
Not all, just the ones that oppose rent protections.
We can smell her nasty posts a Mile away
She has lost all credibility with true rent control activists
If tenants want real support Jenny Labenz can do more
She has the Mayor on speed dial on her iPhone
The only thing Cheryl has is a rotary phone
LOL by jenny you mean the woman who misleads people on facebook, says she’s not endorsing candidates and then lies about ruben and others and fights with tenants who point out her big mistakes? tenant advocate, no she seems more like a ravi advocate. i can smell her nasty posts too but wow, you are a nasty misogynist for saying that.
She has friends?
Self titled “rent control leader ” Cheryl Fallick endorsed 2 out of 3 Council members supporting Paul Presinzano, so why isn’t she endorsing Paul ?
Guess she trusts The Russo Cabal, The Bhalla Cartel and The Voices in her head more than Jen and Tiffany…
And we can easily guess why she didn’t endorse Ruben Ramos…
I’m sure it’s not because he’s Puerto Rican, even though He supports true affordable housing like Section 8, the Housing Authority and Veterans housing…
Things that make Hoboken voters go Hummmm?
