Putting Omar on his ticket shows how desparate and weak Healy is. Healy fired Omar a couple of years back because he was incompetent and a do nothing. Jerk thought that talking to Stack was the same thing as an endorsement.

I wouldn't be bragging about the teacher's union supporting me especially when teachers got laid off & most of them don't even live in Jersey City. And a big whoopi-doo about those slugs that work for custodial. One gets arrested for receiving stolen goods and another gets interviewed by the FBI. Both always glassy eyed and reeking of beer. Yep, that's something to brag about.

Bar Keep! Another round!

Former Jersey City mayor's aide joining Healy ticket as at-large City Council candidate

A former aide to Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy has joined Healy?s reelection team as an at-large City Council candidate.

Omar Perez, a public-policy advisor, is the second person confirmed for Healy?s ticket. The mayor, who is seeking his third full term as mayor of New Jersey?s second-largest city, will also run with Ward E council candidate Dan Levin.

In a statement from the Healy campaign, the mayor said Perez ?knows how to bring people together.?

?In putting together my reelection team, I?m looking for those who share my same motivation for both running for office and for governing ? namely, always doing what?s best for the families, taxpayers and small businesses of Jersey City,? Healy said.

Healy will face Ward E Councilman Steve Fulop in next year?s mayoral contest. Yesterday, Healy touted endorsements from two unions representing over 4,600 teachers and school employees, while Fulop nabbed nods from high-profile leaders of the city?s Latino community.

Last year, Perez was one of 17 candidates vying for two at-large vacancies on the nine-member council. He came in ninth place.

?I have been a student of Jersey City politics for years, and I know, in this election the best candidate to move Jersey City forward is Jerramiah Healy,? said Perez.

Perez said he wants to better connect the community to city government, implement more green initiatives and create a city office of volunteerism.
