Jersey City Elections 2009: Nidia Lopez Wins Ward C

Del — Thu, 14 May 2009 02:14:04 +0000

Jersey City Elections 2009 are over, and the poll results show that Nidia R. Lopez convincingly beat Jimmy King (endorsed by Jersey Journal) for Jersey City Ward C Council. Lopez leads King by approximately 700 votes and collected more than 50% of the turnout, therefore, avoiding a runoff.

Nidia Lopez will replace the outgoing councilman Steve Lipski, a Journal Square resident who did not seek re-election this year due to number controversies around him.

Congratulations, Nidia Lopez! And Best of luck representing Journal Square!

A couple of Journal Square election incidents made the news this morning. At Apartments Plaza polling location at 91 Sip Avenue (cor. Enos Place), there was “some confusion over the type of politicizing that is allowed”, news said. It was resolved and the election went through.

Up north on the boulevard near Rt. 139 towards the Heights area of JC, campaign signs of Mayor Healy had been reportedly vandalized. Some signs have been sliced in the middle, and some had stickers of mugs placed over the “H” in Healy, said deputy campaign manager Craig Guy.

For Jersey City Ward C, Jersey Journal Endorsed JSQ’s Jimmy King

Del — Mon, 11 May 2009 01:44:14 +0000

As you are probably aware of, May 12, 2009 is Jersey City mayoral elections. The other day, the Jersey Journal announced their endorsements for the city’s mayor and councilmen. Journal Square resident Jimmy King made the list.

Jimmy King is pretty popular here. He has his own civic association named after him (Jimmy King Civic Association) and they do a lot of volunteering and organizing events (such as hosting Thanksgiving Dinner and giving Christmas presents to kids) not only in Journal Square but also across Hudson County.

Below you will find Jersey Journal’s picks for this year’s election:

Mayor: Lou Manzo

Ward A: Independent Andre Richardson
Ward B: Healy running mate Philip J. Kenny
Ward C: Manzo running mate Jimmy King
Ward D: Manzo running mate James Carroll
Ward E: Incumbent and independent candidate Steven Fulop
Ward F: Independent Omar Barbour

At-large: Manzo running mate Lori Serrano and Levin running mates Andrew Hubsch and Emilio C. DeLia.

Election Day: No Long Lines in JSQ

Fire Station on Sip Avenue

In some places of Jersey City, there were long lines of voters for today’s presidential election. I’ve read stories like some people finished voting in 3 hours(!). However, here in Journal Square, it is the exact opposite. I didn’t see any long lines or any confusions when I walked (and drove) around.

Martin Luther King, Jr - Back Entrance on Tuers Avenue

Mahatma K. Gandhi School on Romaine Avenue

Is it because of the low turnout of voters? Or Journal Square is just more organized than any other disctrict of JC?
