It looks like all of the candidates in the Hoboken mayoral election (Nov. 3) are still running, as of Friday. (Except for Sal DeMeo, who reportedly has dropped out.)
Four objections were filed with the Hudson County following the deadline for Hoboken mayoral candidates to submit petitions to run for office, but the clerk’s office said last week that all of the objections were unfounded.
Candidates Kimberly Glatt and Patricia Waiters filed objections regarding Acting Mayor Dawn Zimmer’s allegedly “missing” signatures, and Waiters also filed an objection over Councilwoman Beth Mason’s partially late time-stamping on her documents.
Resident Matthew Caliccio also filed an objection against Zimmer.
County Clerk Barbara Netchert said all of the issues were “curable,” and in Zimmer’s case, she said there was no legal requirement for the extra signatures that the county requested of her.
Netchert’s office said last week that the county ruled there were no grounds to dismiss the petitions, although appeals can be sought in court.
