“Craig is an outstanding candidate and a dedicated public servant. I am glad to be able to wholeheartedly endorse his campaign for Hudson County Executive,” Hodes said in a statement.
“Craig has already done so much important work for Hudson County during his time in government, and I’m excited to continue partnering with him to stand up for the residents of Hoboken and the entire Hudson County community. I am looking forward to seeing him work with Mayor Bhalla and Commissioner Romano to get things done.”
She also indicated that she supports the Hudson County Democratic Organization’s picks in LD-32, which also includes attorney and Jersey City Planning Board Commissioner Jessica Ramirez.
“It’s an honor to be endorsed by Chairwoman Hodes. We have worked closely to serve Hoboken residents, and I am excited to continue collaborating with the Hoboken Democrats to improve public safety, housing, and quality of life here in Hudson County,” noted Guy.
“Chairwoman Hodes has done so much for Hoboken, and I’m thrilled to receive her endorsement. I’m running for County Commissioner to stand up for our community, and look forward to working with her, Craig, and the rest of the HCDO ticket,” added Romano.
Guy already has the endorsement of the likes of U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (both D-NJ), Gov. Phil Murphy (D), state Senate President Nick Scutari (D-22), and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin (D-19).
He faces a progressive challenger in Eleana Little on June 6th, while Romano has a rematch from 2020 with Ron Bautista.
Meanwhile, the LD-32 candidates are all running unopposed.
