Democrats endorse Chaparro of Hoboken for state Assembly, replacing Carmelo Garcia

HOBOKEN — Annette Chaparro will run for state Assembly in the 33rd District, representing Hoboken, Union City, Weehawken, and some of Jersey City, on a ticket backed by State Sen. Brian Stack. She was publicly given support over the weekend from the Hudson County Democratic Organization as well as the Hoboken Democratic Committee for the upcoming Democratic Primary in June. Each state legislative district has two Assembly representatives and one state senator.
Chaparro replaces incumbent Carmelo Garcia as the Democratic party candidate on the Stack ticket. She has held a number of jobs with the City of Hoboken including as Planning Board secretary and chair of the Division of Taxi & Limousine Licensing.
“As Chairman of the Hoboken Democrats I will be enthusiastically supporting Annette Chaparro for State Assembly in the upcoming primary election,” Hoboken Democratic Chairman Jamie Cryan. “Annette has deep roots in Hoboken, has been involved in politics and community organizations here for many years, and she will be an excellent representative for Hoboken at the state level. In addition, I am very excited to see the Hudson County Democratic Organization supporting both a woman and a Hispanic for the seat in Annette and she will be a great addition to our diverse and effective legislative delegation.”
