Dear Editor:
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Phil Cohen in this Tuesday’s Democratic Primary for County Freeholder. Phil is running on Column A headed by Senator Cory Booker and Congressman Albio Sires, who also have my enthusiastic support.
While for many candidates Tuesday’s Primary is simply a formality, the Freeholder race is tightly contested so please take the time to cast your votes. In Hoboken our County taxes are the largest portion of our property tax bill. The Board of Chosen Freeholders is the governing body of Hudson County and it is critical for our community that we have Phil’s strong fiscally responsible reform voice fighting for us at the County level. I know that Phil will ask the tough questions about why our County taxes are so high and he will make sure that we receive the County services we need and deserve. Registered Democrats and unaffiliated voters are all eligible to cast votes in the Democratic Primary, and the winner of the Primary is almost certain to be elected in the General Election this November.
Hoboken has been Phil’s home for 28 years and he has a long history of service and devotion to our community. He will listen carefully to all of our residents and advocate strongly for all of us, including our Seniors and those most in need of County services. I have known Phil and his family for many years and I can say without question that he is the right person to represent us. Every vote counts so please make sure to take the time to vote Column A this Tuesday, June 3rd.
Thank you,
Mayor Zimmer
