A columnist for the local paper recently asked just how much staying power Jersey City Ward E councilman Steve Fulop had when it came to Board of Education endorsements. Well, a lot actually.
Fulop's endorsed candidates are all claiming victory (again) after going up against candidates endorsed not only by JC Mayor Healy but by the teacher's union. This is the third straight Board of Education election Fulop's candidates have made a clean sweep.
Vidya Gangadin, Sangeeta Ranade and Marilyn Roma are all claiming victory this morning over their opponents.
The Jersey Journal has this background on the winners:
Gangadin, 41, is a financial analyst who ran and lost for a spot on the Board of Education last year. Ranade, 37, works with the New York City school district on energy-efficiency issues.
And Roman, 76, is a retired teacher and former interim mayor of Jersey City, taking over in 1991 when former mayor Gerry McCann was convicted in a savings-and-loan scam.
Can Councilman Fulop have this same kind of citywide support next year? Well now, that's the real question here isn't it?
