An Independent Voice
on the Hoboken City Council

 

Vote!

Your vote is your voice!
Every election is important!


"All politics is local," said Tip O’Neil the Speaker of the House who fended off Reagan’s attack on the New Deal. And nowhere is that saying more true than in Hoboken! For over a hundred years, a vigorous Democratic tradition of public awareness and civic participation has been a Hoboken tradition, true indeed for all of Hudson County. In a large measure because of the enthusiastic Hudson voters, New Jersey has a Democratic Governor and a newly-elected Democratic US Senator, John Corzine and Robert Menendez – both Hoboken residents. Over the last twenty years, Bob Menendez represented Hoboken as an Assemblyman, a State Senator, and a Congressman.

If you live in Hoboken, it’s important that you register to vote here. If you vote in the national elections, it’s important to get involved in the local elections, too. Local government is the foundation of Democracy and the crucible of our nation’s future leaders.

The Importance of Just One Vote

"My one litte vote won't make a difference."

  • By a margin of just one vote, Texas, California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho became states.

  • England's King Charles I literally lost his head when the vote to behead him was 67 against and 68 for. The ax fell thanks to one vote.

  • The Alaska Purchase in 1867 was ratified by just one vote, enabling the creation of America's largest state.
