Assemblywoman Annette Chaparro

Dear First Ward Neighbors,

Though I’m sure you’re sick of reading endorsement letters, I wouldn’t be reaching out if I didn’t think this was important.

As your current Assemblywoman, I will have served you for eight years once my term ends. I have worked for the City of Hoboken for the past nineteen years. I live in the First Ward and am a lifelong resident of Hoboken, a mother, a grandmother, and a dog owner.

This year, our 1st Ward Election has taken an ugly turn, and this is something I strongly dislike and is part of the reason why I’m reaching out. There’s a reason why people don’t come out to vote, and it’s because they believe nothing will change. But the change our community needs starts with your vote.

I’m proud to endorse Paul Presinzano to be our First Ward Councilmember.

While many promises have been made and stones thrown, I believe residents can see with their own eyes what’s going on. Lying to win an election only hurts Hoboken. Our quality of life and safety are of the utmost importance, and maintaining Hoboken’s affordability and government services should be an open-door policy for us.

The truth is, all this should be and can be done now! Changing the narrative to benefit Paul Presinzano’s opponent won’t make you unsee anything. But choosing someone who has been firmly speaking up and challenging things that don’t work for our ward or city is essential. It didn’t just start with this election.

We need to take those day-to-day frustrations we share when we run into neighbors on the street or read about on social media and send an independent fighter to represent us for a better quality of life.

Please cast your vote for Paul Presinzano, Column A, on December 5th.

Sincerely,
Annette Chaparro,
NJ Assemblywoman-33rd District
