According to
this post on the Hoboken Revolt website, Hoboken Councilwoman Dawn Zimmer is "set to make an announcement" at her fundraiser on Thursday, Feb. 5. What do you think it is? We're allowing guesses below!!
If it's that mayor thing, we guess she's warmed up to the idea, since last May, she told us that she had no aspirations to run for mayor "at this time" and explained why (see the link to the story below). Don't worry, readers; we'll certainly be asking her about this, just like we'll ask ALL the candidates tough questions, as we journalists do. The May election is an important one!
There have been some concerns among supporters of Zimmer and rival Beth Mason that both women will split the "taxpayer" vote, and that there has been a public rift between both women's supporters.
Here is our seminal article in which both sides complained about the other l ast year.
Also rumored to be running: Frank Raia, Michael Russo, Peter Cammarano, and maybe Scott Delea. Let us know what y'all think below, in the comments section. Operators are standing by!
When Obama ran against Clinton some said he was going to split the vote for Clinton and be a spoiler. I think that turned out OK.
I like Dawn Zimmer and I hope she opens up the race to new issues and points of view.
That is why Dawn is now running against her rather than with her. Was it really a smart move? I am not giving answers just asking the question and I would like a Mason supporter to explain this.
I have not made up my mind who I'm voting for (a lot can happen between then or now) but I will certainly be looking to future articles like that one to see what they hope to accomplish and how their decisions like these affect Hoboken's future.
