There’s a long list of potential candidates who are looking to take the seat currently occupied by Beth Mason – the most of any of the six wards in Hoboken.
The Ruben Ramos camp aligned with the Russo family and Carmelo Garcia is looking to field close to a citywide ticket and has its selected candidate ready to go.
