Manzo's Jersey City forces emerge
By Max Pizarro, PolitickerNJ.com Reporter
Jersey City Mayoral candidate Lou Manzo issued a release today unveiling the first three of nine city council candidates committed to running on his slate.
Those candidates are attorney/cop Jim Carroll in Ward D; civic association leader Jimmy King in Ward C; and Public Schools Principal Account Clerk Lori Serrano for an at-large seat.
“These three candidates represent samplings of our diverse city,” said Manzo, a former assemblyman who ran for the state senate in 1997 and lost to state Sen. Sandra Cunningham (D-Hudson). “Clearly, this ticket will be composed of leaders who are not afraid to fight for Jersey City. I am proud to stand alongside these three individuals, as we move forward to make Jersey City a better place to live, work and raise families.
“As evidenced by the goals of these candidates, we intend to combat crime, jump start the regional economy and create jobs for local residents,” Manzo added.
Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy is running for reelection to a second, four-year term against challengers who include Manzo and Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith (D-Jersey City).
