Hoboken Councilman Phil Cohen Announces He is Running for Re-election
Hoboken Councilman Phil Cohen today declared he is running for re-election to his 5th Ward Council seat. The first term Councilman was elected to the City Council in 2019 and will face the voters again in November 2023.
Mr. Cohen pointed to his leadership on the City Council in advancing improvements to Hoboken’s quality of life in his own ward and citywide as reasons to support his re-election. “Working closely with Mayor Bhalla, I have successfully helped lead the fight on the City Council to move forward critical quality-of-life projects,” said Councilman Cohen, “including the construction of the Northwest Resiliency Park, defending our waterfront at Union Dry Dock, bringing CitiBikes to Hoboken, and major infrastructure upgrades, such as Vision Zero improvements and Rebuild By Design resiliency infrastructure.”
Having conducted more than 65 community events and publishing a bi-monthly constituent newsletter, Councilman Cohen remains highly accessible and responsive. “No issue has been too large or small to tackle for my constituents — everything from filling potholes and fixing stop signs, to fighting for The Rivington’s residents to roll back unconscionable rent increases,” said Phil Cohen.
“I am running for re-election, so I can continue the work of improving all Hoboken residents’ quality of life and keeping our city on a sound long-term fiscal path,” Councilman Cohen added.
Councilman Cohen is kicking off his re-election campaign on December 13 at 6:00 PM with a fundraiser at Pilsener Haus & Biergarten, at 1422 Grand St., Hoboken.
