Hudson County NJ, Billy Prempeh, former and future NJ 9th Congressional Candidate, endorsed NJ GOP State Committeeman Joshua Sotomayor Einstein for Chairman of the Hudson County Republican Party. Prempeh stated, “Sotomayor Einstein is the best candidate for Hudson County GOP Chair, not only did he support my campaign and other candidates last election cycle, which Arango (the current chair) never does, but he has a long history of grassroots Republican activism.” He continued, “compare that record with Arango’s, a man who has for years been helping Democrats and attacking the grassroots GOP, it’s an easy call – it’s time for new leadership and Sotomayor Einstein is the right man for the job.”

Newark NJ, eight members of an interstate burglary crew were charged for their roles in a conspiracy that targeted homeowners of Asian descent for residential burglaries, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced today.

Dear State Senators Cunningham, Stack, and Sacco,
Why since 2014 has the Hudson County Office of Superintendent of Elections not had a Republican as required by law? As State Senators serving in Trenton your job is not to be far-left partisans for the Democrat Party of which you are members but to represent the bi-partisan interests of the citizens in your respective electoral districts. Those interests are not limited to, but most certainly include, faith in the electoral system in our home, Hudson County. Yet since 2014 only a partisan of your party, the Democrats, has been running the Office of Superintendent of Elections, with no institutional checks and balances, and with no input from Republicans in Hudson County.

Hoboken NJ, Members of the Hoboken City Council, including co-sponsors Phil Cohen, Michael Russo, and Emily Jabbour, have introduced an ordinance prohibiting elected officials in Hoboken from blocking individuals from engaging with them on social media platforms used to communicate with the community about official City business. The ordinance, which will be introduced at Wednesday’s City Council meeting, imposes up to a $500 fine for each individual the elected official blocks on their official social media feeds including Facebook and Twitter. The City Councilmembers introduced the ordinance after receiving complaints from residents who for years have been blocked on Twitter and Facebook by Councilmember Mike DeFusco, including some who recently questioned his multiple overseas vacations to hot-spot countries like Colombia in violation of municipal, state, and CDC guidelines, as well as the 23 Airbnb rentals of his home since last August during the height of the pandemic.

Hoboken NJ, To no one’s surprise, Jose Arango, the Hudson County Democrat Machine’s favorite pet Republican and nominal chairman of the Hudson County Republican Party, is still up to his old Republican-in-name-only ways. In Hoboken, home to a municipal GOP free of his negative influence, he recently recruited a Democrat to switch parties with the promise of the town GOP chairmanship. Rumor has it that this Democrat, who only a few years ago was on the executive board of the Hoboken Municipal Democrat Committee, sought the blessings of leftwing Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla as well as Union City Mayor / State Senator Brian Stack (one of biggest Machine Democrats in the county) before agreeing.
