In Jersey City, Mayor Steven Fulop and his council slate have over $1.7 million cash on hand, with Ward C council candidate Tom Zuppa leading declared challengers with around $43,000 COH, according to reports filed with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission.

Fulop, who is seeking a third term this fall, individually raised $18,742, but still has about $993,030 available after a strong final fundraising quarter in 2020, his April 16th ELEC report shows. He also does not have a declared challenger as of this writing.
Evidently the first quarter of this year, January 1st through March 31st, was dedicated to raising money for his nine candidates for the city council – which includes seven incumbents.
Most of the electoral activity is taking place in Jersey City. But over the past few months, the West Hudson town of Kearny has also seen an unusual flurry of politicking.

Freire, who works as the development director for the non-profit group Building Equity & Alignment for Impact, filed her D-1 form with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (NJ ELEC) yesterday.
For the time being, she does not have a campaign chair and will serve as her own campaign treasurer.
“Our campaign is 100 percent grassroots and is powered by people who are ready to see authentic representation on city council. My run is only a small part of a larger effort that is happening on a national scale,” she said Thursday morning.

“The Jersey City Council has tremendous power to shape our city and impact our communities. From taxes, to housing and tenants rights, to public safety, public health and the city budget – the city council has a huge role,” Brooks told HCV.
“Right now, the majority of the city council accepts donations from real estate developers, police unions and corporate landlords who have the City government working for them, not tenants and working class residents of Jersey City. I will never take their money. I will never work for them. I will always stand with Ward B Jersey City residents.”

Executive Producers: Rick Berman & Michael Piller
Station log: For the first time, there was a
Star Trek show that couldn’t be described with those fateful words, “These are the voyages of the starship
Enterprise.” With the debut of “Emissary” in January 1993, the definition of
Star Trek changed forever.
DS9, beyond the obvious fact that this was the first
Trek TV show not set on a ship named
Enterprise, indeed the first to take place in a (somewhat) static location. It was also the first
Trek show with a black commanding officer and a female first officer, and the only
