In a letter to the editor, Hoboken resident Sheila Brennan says that Paul Presinzano, a former running mate of hers, is the best choice in the 1st Ward.
Dear Editor,
I ran for City Council at-Large in 2021 on a ticket with Paul Presinzano. We were concerned that the mayor’s unopposed slate of council candidates would be elected without any opportunity for discussion of the issues or debate.
That’s not good for Democracy or for Hoboken, so we took it upon ourselves to join the race.
Unfortunately, we didn’t win, but we did REALLY well for first-time candidates, and I’m very proud of what we accomplished.
We got to meet a ton of our fellow citizens to talk about important issues that were not being addressed – things like parking and everyday flooding of streets and basements.
These are not sexy topics that politicians typically chase for headlines, but we’re not politicians. Paul is just someone who loves Hoboken and wants to help make it better for everyone – a goal he works to accomplish every day.
Over the past two years, I’ve gotten more information from Paul on Twitter than I’ve ever gotten from the administration.
For more than 600 days, Paul has been using the platform to stay on top of things, talking to people, engaging neighbors, getting answers, tirelessly working on solutions for the problems all of us face. It’s truly inspiring.
It’s not about pointing fingers or name calling, it’s about staying positive and working toward solutions. To me, that’s what government should be about.
I’m proud to call Paul Presinzano my friend and proud to endorse him for 1st ward Council. I encourage everyone to reach out to Paul and see for yourself that he’s someone who’s worthy of your vote.
Sheila Brennan
Hoboken resident
This is a shockingly horrific endorsement letter
Please support my “friend” who has already proven to be a loser because he tweets for 600 days in a row bc he doesn’t have a job. He hates the mayor and he says it everyday but we need to be positive.
What a joke
Oh Look it it’s the POS’s from Team Bhalla…. No wonder Zimmer says no to Bhalla!
The Ravibot Team is sounding more nasty and desperate. Dawn Zimmer taking a flamethrower to Ravi’s selling out Hoboken! 🔥
That’s a good sign for good candidates for Hoboken like Paul.
This is a very good endorsement from Sheila.
Rafi doesn’t tweet at all because his puppet master made him stop after Rafi claimed that people were having full fledged sex at CitiBike stations.
Having City Council Representatives who are independent is important.
After finding out in the past few days that the long delayed Rebuild By Design project to protect southern Hoboken from another Sandy was further delayed by Mayor Bhalla’s own political ambitions only reinforces that need.
Bhall’s City Council Team has gone silent since the New York Times article exposing the scandal.
Funny title. His former running mate is endorsing him is what you would expect. It’s only news if a running mate doesn’t endorse him.
Actually, that’s inverted to a current running mate is what you’d expect.
This is a former running mate who doesn’t need to be involved.
It speaks well of both Sheila and Paul.
She thinks it’s still 1980, like she thinks her rent should be as well
Anyone paying under $600 a month making big money should move into market housing so a needy person can live there.
Let Indie and her Yale boy infatuation move
There is some guy playing loud obnoxious music on a CitiBike in support of Paul Presinzano today. He has signs taped all over the bike and everything. What a loser, just like Paul.
Typical nasty… What you get with Rafi and His Hand out pals
