Caridad Rodriguez, who gave a tearful goodbye at the December 17 board of commissioners meeting, was sworn in as the District 7 Freeholder – which represents Guttenberg, Weehawken and West New York – at a ceremony at the Brennan Court House on Monday.Â
“Gabriel Rodriguez is an incredible candidate whose had a great history in town working for Congressman Albio Sires and he is one of the individuals being considered for Mayor Roque’s re-election slate this year,†said town spokesman Pablo Fonseca, who did not confirm or deny that he would be appointed at the January 21 board of commissioners meeting.
Coincidentally, Caridad Rodriguez also worked for Sires, serving as his executive assistant, prior to being appointed as a West New York commissioner for the first time in 2006.Â
