While the Democratic Party holds their convention down in Charlotte North Carolina, Mayor Healy who is in Charlotte has launched his re-election campaign website for the 2013 mayors race. He has launched mayorhealy.com to kick off his campaign. When asked why he'd launch it from so far away a Healy campaign ally said:
“So when he runs into people at the hotel, they won’t say, ‘Are you running,’ they’ll say, ‘How can we help?’ ”
Healy endorsers include Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith, Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, Freeholder Jeffrey Dublin and Assemblymen Sean Connors and Jason O’Donnell.
Color hat-in-the-ring City Councilman Steve Fulop less than impressed with Healy's endorsements:
“The only endorsement that counts to me is the residents of Jersey City,” Fulop said. “These career politicians that endorsed Healy today have 15 jobs between them, so of course they want the status quo, which Healy represents.”
So, Healy vs Fulop (When Mr. Fulop gets his mayoral website up and running we'll also give that a one-time link) and the gloves are officially off. But is this only going to be a two-person race? Many are speculating that state Senator Sandra Cunningham may join the race to hold the job her late husband held from 2001-2004.
Ah fall, the politics get bigger and nastier.
