Ward E just got one candidate lighter -- but for the right reasons

Take it away Terrence T. McDonald:

Michael "Billy" Bisogno is dropping out of the crowded race to succeed Candice Osborne as Jersey City's Downtown council member, shaking up a key council election just 42 days before Election Day.

While the Jersey City Desk does not endorse candidates as that is simply playing one resident who cares about the city vs another, the reasoning for Bisogno's dropping out of the race is a good and true one, not anything to do with politics;

Dropping out of what was a six-person race is "not a choice I make lightly," Bisogno said in a statement issued by his campaign. He linked suspending his council campaign to his new role as executive director of Hudson Pride Connections Center.

"This role will allow me to advocate on behalf of Jersey City's LGBTQ community and serve as a voice for them as we all work towards making our home the place we all know it can be," Bisogno said. "I would rather do one job well than do two adequately."

We're really happy Bisogo is following his heart and helping in a more tangible way than often even city counsellors cannot.
