Letter of Endorsement - Beth Mason Supports Dawn Zimmer for Mayor

Beth Mason Endorses Dawn Zimmer


"Now is the time to take a stand and send a message loud and clear throughout the state that the people of Hoboken have had enough and want to end business as usual."

Beth Mason had previously endorsed Dawn Zimmer in a short press conference. Here is her letter of endorsement of Dawn Zimmer for Mayor.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I would like to take this opportunity to ask everyone to join me in voting 1A for Dawn Zimmer for Mayor on Tuesday June 9th. This election offers the people of Hoboken a unique opportunity to vote for real change or continue business as usual.

I have worked with Dawn as a council colleague for two years, and although we do not always agree, she has proven to be an outspoken advocate for holding City Hall accountable. She has been fighting to put an end to bad business practices such as inside deals, blotted pensions and pure mismanagement that led to a 70% municipal tax increase (47% overall) and a state takeover that was years in the making. She will cut taxes by balancing the budget and eliminate wasteful spending so more of your hard earned money stays in your wallet.

Dawn will implement a smart and viable economic-development plan geared toward enhancing Hoboken residents' quality of life, improving public safety, securing more open space and creating jobs. She has been an advocate for smart growth that will improve our environment, reduce traffic and end Hoboken’s over-reliance on excessive residential development that is choking our city.

Dawn cares about the future of our kids and their health and education. She will build an administration that will listen to you, the people of Hoboken, and not be driven by special-interest groups.

When you step into the voting booth on Tuesday, June 9, ask yourself, "Do I want a Hoboken that is a better place to live and raise a family, or do I want a Hoboken that puts politics before people?" If you ask yourself this question, you will realize that only one candidate can deliver a brighter tomorrow for Hoboken, and that candidate is Dawn Zimmer.

Now is the time to take a stand and send a message loud and clear throughout the state that the people of Hoboken have had enough and want to end business as usual. I urge you to vote for Dawn Zimmer.

Sincerely,
Councilwoman Beth Mason ◦
