In Hoboken, Cammarano nears formal announcement

Councilman Peter Cammarano

HOBOKEN – Sources close to At-Large Councilman Peter Cammarano say the attorney plans to formally enter the race for mayor sometime next week. 

Councilwoman Dawn Zimmer is already in the contest, and sources say Councilwoman Beth Mason will roll out her campaign shortly with the endorsement of Union City Mayor/Sen. Brian P. Stack. 

Stack wouldn’t comment this week when PolitickerNJ.com asked him who he’s supporting for mayor in Hoboken. He simply said he’ll have an answer probably in the next couple of weeks. 

So far it remains to be seen who among the candidates will land the coveted endorsement of the Hudson County Democratic Organization (HCDO), which has been focused on the reelection campaign of Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy. 

There is no official word yet on the plans of two-term Mayor David Roberts.  

As he angles for his official entry into the race, Cammarano today picked up the endorsement of the Building Trades Council of Hudson County.
