“Tonight an overwhelming 70% margin of Hoboken residents voted not for a candidate, but for the principles of majority rule, democratic elections and honest government. These results represent a mandate for change in our city, and I look forward to working with the City Council to realize that goal. It’s disappointing that Mayor Bhalla and his allies decided to oppose this common sense measure, but it’s inspiring to see thousands of Hobokenites make the right choice at the ballot.”
