Campaign Spokesman Pablo Fonseca did not confirm or deny that Guzman would be filling in for Frias.
“I cannot comment at this time on who the fifth member of Mayor Roque’s re-election ticket will be, but an announcement will be forthcoming shortly,†he told Hudson County View over the phone.
Guzman is being honored as one of two “Dominicans of the Year†at the town’s annual Dominican Independence Day flag raising at town hall tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. Her addition to Roque’s ticket is expected to be announced then, sources said.
By this time tomorrow, Roque’s ticket will include Commissioners Gabriel Rodriguez and Cosmo Cirillo, Memorial High School teacher Susan Colacurcio and Guzman.
With that ticket, all of Roque’s running mates from 2011 have been replaced.
Frias deferred comment to Fonseca when contacted by Hudson County View, while Guzman could not be reached for comment.
