Dear Editor:
I want to thank everybody who helped us achieve a tremendous victory this week. Tuesday was a beautiful night in Hoboken, and a beautiful night in the 3rd Ward!
In so many ways this has been one of the toughest campaigns of my life. I know many of you know that our family suffered two losses just last month. They brought us great sadness. But I know that on Tuesday night, Grandma Josie and Grandma Mary were looking down on us and saying – good job, everybody.
I am humbled. Humbled by the support I received and by the trust that you have placed in me. This election was about the heart of Hoboken. And I can tell you that the heart of Hoboken is beating strongly!
Over the next four years, we are going to build a new park in this ward. We will build a place where our children – including my baby girl, Lia Grace – can play in safety and security. We are going to make sure that City Hall pays attention to our ward. That our streets get paved, and that our taxes are lowered.
Over the next four years, we are going to continue to fight for the 3rd Ward first. I look forward to working with my council colleagues to move this city forward with unity and positivity.
Thank you again everybody. God bless you!
Sincerely,
Councilman Michael Russo
