Hoboken council leaders endorse Bhalla, Brennan for Assembly

pair of Hoboken Council leaders endorsed Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and former Murphy administration official Katie Brennan for Assembly this week, according to a release.

Hoboken City Council President Jim Doyle and Vice President Phil Cohen will support the two Democrats in the 32nd legislative district, which encompasses Hoboken and parts of Jersey City.

The pair are seeking seats currently held by Assemblywoman Jessica Ramirez (D-Jersey City) and Assemblyman John Allen (D-Hoboken). Allen, Bhalla’s former chief of staff, is not running for re-election.

“Ravi Bhalla and Katie Brennan will do the people’s work in Trenton—not that of the party bosses,” Doyle said in a release. “I know first-hand that Ravi is an effective, innovative leader. As mayor of Hoboken, he has led the City in the ongoing fight to curb the impact of climate change, to protect our rent control laws, to expand affordable housing, and to make the city a safer place to walk, bike, and drive.”
