Kimberly Glatt, one of the eight candidates in Hoboken’s November mayoral race, filed a court challenge this afternoon to candidate (and current Acting Mayor) Dawn Zimmer’s nominating petitions. Each candidate running for city office has to get a certain number of signatures on a petition in order to be nominated.
The deadline for filing the challenge was 5 p.m. today.
However, if there is a slight irregularity with the signatures or petitions, the courts often give a candidate time to “correct” the problem.
Glatt has served as Hoboken’s municipal court judge since the mid 1990s. However, she resigned two weeks ago in order to run for mayor.
Glatt did not challenge the petitions of any other candidate.
The election will be held Nov. 3.
