“This is a historic day in Hoboken and I’m so proud to welcome Vanessa Falco to the City Council where I know she will be a voice for fairness, opportunity, progress and diversity, some of our city’s most cherished values. Vanessa is a true Hobokenite, someone who knows our city better than anyone and who has seen it grow and change over the years she has lived here, first growing up and now raising her own family here.
