“Today’s decision to endorse Anthony Romano for Mayor of Hoboken, along with his slate of council candidates, is the best decision we can make,” Russo said in a statement.
“Anthony demonstrates tremendous leadership skills and I have full confidence in his abilities to be a great Mayor. He has many years in public service (educator, police captain, board of education member and freeholder) and understands how to navigate through the complexities of local government.”
Russo’s endorsement is not a monumental surprise, given that he attended Romano’s most recent fundraiser last week.
