“That’s a pleasant, I don’t know what to say, thank you I guess?,” Ramos said with a laugh after being voted to lead the governing body in 2021 by a 5-3 vote. Council members Jim Doyle, Phil Cohen, and Emily Jabbour, all supporters of Bhalla, voted no.
Councilwoman-at-Large Vanessa Falco was absent.
“Thank you council president and Councilwoman [Tiffanie] Fisher, that’s a nice surprise I guess so I appreciate your confidence and I’ll do the best I can.”
Ramos seemed legitimately surprised that he received the nomination and the votes, asking Giattino to chair the rest of the annual reorganization meeting since she was already leading the meeting via Zoom.

“I have a long record of accomplishments in Hoboken and the state legislature. There are a lot of things that Hoboken still has to strive for,” Ramos said over the phone this afternoon.
“The past decade has left the city stagnant: our tax increase this year and last year are examples of that and I think I’d be a steady hand to lead it going forward. This is part of us doing our due diligence. I know we have a solid base of support throughout our city and we’ll see what comes from it.”
