Paul Presinzano stated, "I decided to run after speaking with numerous residents, hearing that the status quo is unacceptable and needs to change. Ward 1 deserves an available and present councilperson, which will be my top priority."

Paul ran for City Council at-large in 2021 and came up short. Instead of fading back into the community, he chose a path to learn, watch, and identify what makes Hoboken awesome. In that process, he recognized what needed to be done better. His career and life experiences give him a unique set of problem-solving skills so badly needed in the City Council.

Presinzano said, "The 1st Ward is one of the city's oldest parts, having a distinctive makeup of renters, owners, and seniors. Those residents will face significant Quality of Life issues as redevelopment begins in our Ward. My Leadership will endure Ward 1 is represented, and your rights are protected."

Agendas have plagued Hoboken politics. Paul isn't part of the machine. He is part of the solution to fix it. He believes engagement and open dialogue with both sides of an issue is how he can improve Hoboken's future. "A robust process coupled with transparency are the pillars of good government. If elected, I will accomplish this with a focus on community building and working to make sure the voters are making the decisions, not the select few insiders," said Presinzano.

Over the next few months, Paul is looking forward to meeting with voters and discussing issues that matter most to them. You can follow him on Twitter @presinzano4hob1. If you want to get involved, volunteer, or donate, visit his website at www.presinzano4hoboken.com.
