In a letter to the editor, Hoboken 5th Ward Councilman Phil Cohen explains why he believes Mayor Ravi Bhalla deserves to represent New Jersey’s 8th District in Congress.
Dear Editor,
Next Tuesday, we have a crucial election that will shape the future of Hoboken and Hudson County, and early voting begins today.
I have worked closely with Ravi Bhalla for nearly two decades. Ravi has effectively tackled our community’s most pressing issues, including flood resiliency, infrastructure upgrades, parks and green spaces, and Vision Zero initiatives for pedestrian safety.
Hoboken is an amazing community, and Mayor Bhalla’s leadership is a huge part of our City’s success. Don’t believe the misinformation and desperate attacks from Mayor Bhalla’s opponent.
I know Ravi personally. I have seen his integrity, his commitment, and his passion for service to this community. Ravi has successfully worked to make Hoboken a national model for good governance, addressing flood resiliency, pedestrian safety, and so much more.
Mayor Bhalla’s six years of successful leadership as Hoboken Mayor, coupled with eight years of experience as a Councilman, demonstrate his proven ability to deliver results.
He is the leader Hudson County and the residents of the 8th Congressional District need, running on his long record of real accomplishments.
I wholeheartedly endorse Mayor Ravi Bhalla for Congress in the Democratic Primary and encourage you to vote early or vote on Election Day, June 4.
Phil Cohen
Hoboken City Councilman
