Ramos Officially Endorses Stack, HCDO Candidates for Assembly Ticket

Assemblyman Ruben Ramos Jr. has endorsed State Senator Brian Stack and his assembly slate.

Earlier in the week, Ramos announced he will support Carmelo Garcia — executive director of the Hoboken Housing Authority and sitting school board member — and Raj Mukherji, Jersey City's deputy mayor.

Garcia is one of three Hobokenites who filed petitions to run in the June primary.

In a press release, Ramos said: “I am proud to announce my support of Senator Brian Stack for reelection to the New Jersey Senate, and for the election of Carmelo Garcia and Raj Mukherji to the Assembly to represent the 33rd District. These three individuals make up a diverse and capable slate of candidates that will represent the District with competence and enthusiasm."

Ramos will not be seeking reelection, because he's running for mayor in November against incumbent Dawn Zimmer.

Zimmer has not yet endorsed anyone for the assembly race.
