To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who supported me throughout my campaign for Third Ward council. Although this election did not turn out the way I had hoped, I can still hold my head up high as many of the issues facing the Third Ward are now part of the conversation. Moving forward I will continue to work for the betterment of our community and continue to hold our representatives accountable for their decisions.
I would also like to take this opportunity to publicly announce my support for Gary LaPelusa for Third Ward council as well as Jimmy Davis and the entire Davis team. I have known and worked with Gary for many years. As a former councilman, Gary has a record of fighting for the citizens of Bayonne and I know if he is elected again he will continue to work for the people.
Bayonne is in desperate need of new leadership. We need a mayor and council who will truly represent the citizens of Bayonne and not the out-of-town special-interests groups. After meeting with Jimmy Davis, I have confidence that he is the right man for the job. Jimmy and his team are a group of average citizens who only want to do what is right for Bayonne.
I ask everyone to stand with Jimmy Davis and his team and start to get Bayonne back on track.
