Last Thursday night The Graycliff in Moonachie burst at the seams with yet another pack-to-the-hilt fundraising event my State Senator and Union City Mayor Brian P. Stack & his Union City First Team. In attendance was Governor Phil Murphy and just about every politician aligned with Stack’s team. Missing was County Executive Tom DeGise and a few others. No surprise since Stack and Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, also in attendance, announced a few weeks back that they will not support DeGise for re-election.
It was a love fest for Stack and his running mates Commissioners Maryury Martinetti, Lucio Fernandez, Celin Valdivia, and newcomer Wendy Grullon. Commissioner Tilo Rivas will not be seeking another term on the Commission, but will remain as County Freeholder.
Stack spoke from the heart, at times using a tough tone, obviously sending a message to someone in particular. The crowd, mostly listening, lapped it all up. Obviously this is their man.
The party was festive and entertaining. Not too much gossiping between pols, since all mostly left after the speech by Stack.
One thing is for sure... Stack has support. Lot's and lot's of support. And not just from the people he represents.
