Manzo picks three running mates

Former Assemblyman Louis Manzo, a candidate for Mayor of Jersey City, today announced three City Council candidates who will run on his slate in the May municipal election: former Jersey City Housing Authority Chair Lori Serrano will run At-Large, retired Jersey City Police Sergeant Jim Carroll will seek the Ward D seat against incumbent William Gaughan, and former Hudson County Undersheriff Jimmy King will challenge incumbent Steve Lipski in Ward C.

Manzo is making his sixth bid for Mayor.  He lost races in 1992, 1993, 2001, 2004, and 2005.

Lipski, who is being prosecuted for public urination in Washington, D.C., was dumped from Mayor Jerramiah Healy’s slate.  Healy will run with Nydia Rivera, the wife of former Jersey City Councilman Ben Lopez.
