MOONACHIE – Celebrated citywide and in insider circles for his political organizational abilities, former Paterson Deputy Mayor Pedro Rodriguez this evening at Union City Mayor Brian P. Stack’s ball considered his ongoing fight to be the next mayor of Paterson.

“He’s a good mayor, and he is a good example,” Rodriguez said of Stack, giving a nod to the host here at Graycliff.
