Official release:
Dear friends and neighbors – I am so proud to introduce the three people I have invited to be on my At-Large Council slate. And I am thankful that each one accepted my invitation. They share my vision for Hoboken and know that this race is all about serving Hoboken and connecting our community: James Aibel, Sal Starace and Jason Ellis. Each Jim, Sal and Jason have the passion and commitment to represent Hoboken residents and have been active in our community.
The four major mayoral campaigns are uncorked on a beautiful global cooling summer in the Mile Square City but will first in mean first out of the ballot box in November?
That’s only one of the main unanswerable July questions as many Hoboken residents have barely registered Mayor Zimmer pulled out of the November election with about four months to go.
The sudden withdrawal set off a tsunami of reassessment by many including the upstart Reform Resistance candidate and City Council President Jen Giattino.
The following report comes courtesy of the Hudson County View.
Hoboken Council President/mayoral hopeful Jen Giattino announced her council slate of Sal Starace, Jason Ellis and Jim Aibel at a press conference in Church Square Park this afternoon. “Three long time Hobokenites I have learned from are Sal Starace, Jason Ellis, and the chairman of the zoning board, Jim Aibel. I am so proud to introduce them as my at-large council running mates,” said Giattino.

More to come.
Update: There’s more coverage coming on today’s Giattino for Mayor slate.
Traffic has been climbing steadily, each day all week so this ???? is well aware many await more details.
MSV has more national candidate coverage coming to the Hoboken hamlet soon too.
Oops, a Horse did it again. After a Reformer in BoE circles reached out proposing restraint and decorum requests by Grafix Avenger were made to see halted this farm animal from analysis, critique, re: political discourse in commenting on that website.
In turn, Grafix Avenger offered to not comment on MSV and risk getting a butt kicking (intellectually speaking) or ignored.
Some might recall, this Loser proposition sounds like a one way street based on the comments on MSV in recent weeks. Lots of MSV bashing, name calling with some self-promoting chest pounding.

A late dinner invitation to an outdoor barbecue with local reformers and a nice Aussie led to some discussion on censorship.
The guests at the onset wanted to know what did this Horse say that caused the trigger finger delete button to go off. DELETE DELETE DELETE DELETE
Well, it’s rather simple. It only required a response to false accusations and noting simple facts.
This Horse dared to venture in the land of party line thought and action on behalf of a candidate tossing in some common sense.
Hudson County View released a video of the official campaign office opening relaying in its headline a campaign strategy announcing Councilman Ravi Bhalla as the national candidate writing: “Bhalla: You can count on me on the local, state and national level.”
In contrast to his mayoral rival City Council President Jen Giattino, Councilman Ravi Bhalla is appealing to Hoboken voters with a national candidate focus. Giattino in her policy speech at Moran’s last week said she would continue in the footsteps of Mayor Zimmer and not use Hoboken as a stepping stone and focus on delivering on local issues.
