Dear Editor: We are a few short days away from the most important decision Hoboken will make for a very long time. I write you as a City Councilman, a Fourth Ward resident, and father to ask that you join me in supporting Dawn Zimmer, this Tuesday, as the best choice for Mayor of Hoboken. …
Dear Editor: Four years ago I moved to Hoboken with my video camera and not much else. I had little knowledge of the town or its politics, and a work-life that had recently gone from perma-lance to free-lance. Thankfully, I soon found work from Beth Mason.

And disappointingly some candidates have attacked their opponents’ fitness for office by mischaracterizing …

Dear Editor: I am writing to tell Hoboken residents, particularly the seniors, that I am throwing my support to Beth Mason for Mayor. I don’t always agree with Beth on every issue.
