That's simply not true. Rebecca is unequivicolly Steve's pick, but it's the only ward that may go to a run off, and Steve couldn't risk picking a losing candidate. Hence why his endorsement isn't coming until the runoff.

Prove that. Show us why you use the term "unequivocally". You must have some pretty solid evidence to use such an unequivocal term.

It's called a proxy

Well that certainly closed the door on that. I asked for definitive proof, and you sure delivered...not.

She really is unwatchable and completely full of it. Just in her intro alone "goal to hold JC government more accountable"

Yeah, except that is impossible when you're on the Fulop ticket. Nice try though.

She's not on the Fulop ticket. Fulop declined to endorse anyone in the race.

Personally I think that all the candidates are good and should be able to promote themselves without attacking the integrity of the others. The others keep themselves above the fray, but their campaign staff and supporters do the dirty work for them. At the very least, Jacob fights his own battles in this regard and is willing to say such things personally.

I like the candidates personally, but unless they distance themselves from these attacks and concede that they are wholly unfounded, I will have lost some respect for their campaigns.

Simply: a vote for Symes is a vote for making downtown more affordable to developers.

I think you've got that backwards. You complain about the lack of affordable housing, and yet now developers create properties that are in high demand, in part due to a lack of supply. Thanks to Symes, folks are getting more of what they want a place to purchase in Jersey City.

Tax abatemens reduce the cost to the developers, such as the one Symes has worked for and represented. Economics doesn't lie, but politicians and their sockpuppets do.

Having a developer funded candidate with obvious mayoral aspirations will unlikely improve affordability in DTJC. And, it is not in the developers' economic self-interest to build infrastructure such as schools, daycare facilities ...

That's the irony of the those that oppose development because "it pushes out" old timers: without additional supply, prices will continue to skyrocket. Obviously, Jersey City has reached a tipping point in terms of popularity and desirability: people will continue to flock here, so demand is already high, but supply is obviously not keeping up. We need more development, which will ideally include both rentals and condos, and spread out across the city.

A ton of pressure from Dixon Advisory SuperPAC people and State Politicians who want to tie up future Donations/favors to Symes endorsement these days. Even JC Grants are being held up until this happens. Not sure If it will be Fulop or Candice endorsing Symes but it has been made clear that without an official endorsement from the adminstration, donations/favors will be on hold until a new regime in town. That's all because Symes is not doing as well as anticipated and the other 4 candidates are all picking up more steam than anticipated. Once again, Developers Win. Citizens will once again have the illusion of democracy.
