HOBOKEN, N.J. - Dawn Zimmer's first press conference as acting mayor of this one-square-mile New Jersey city was picked up around the world.

"Quite frankly if you told me 2 1/2 years ago that I'm going to be acting mayor of Hoboken, I would have said you're crazy," she said. "But the issues have driven me to become mayor."
Zimmer was council president in the northern New Jersey city when Cammarano was charged with taking $25,000 from an FBI informant posing as a corrupt developer. Cammarano has said he is not guilty. She was sworn in on July 31 and now faces six other candidates on Nov. 3 in a winner-takes-all, nonpartisan election to serve out Cammarano's unexpired term. It'll be the sixth time she puts herself before voters in 2 1/2 years.
