John Hanussak emerged today as Mayor Steve Fulop’s pick for Ward C Council in Journal Square.

Hanussak will face incumbent Rich Boggiano, one of two current independent candidates on the council and often on the other side of the administration.

Hanussak was born Massachusetts but has spent the majority of his life in Jersey City. He has been active in the community and was on the Liberty Humane Society Board and served in the administration’s Resident Response Center. He was also a key ally to Mayor Fulop’s race in Ward C in 2013.
