After Hoboken Patch sent the candidates a questionnaire with basic information and some tough questions, the candidates responded. See the links to all of the the candidate answers we received, below.

The candidates gave a variety of interesting responses. Among them:

• When asked whom they voted for in the 2020 presidential election, and whether it was relevant, several said they picked Joe Biden, one said "not Trump," one said she wrote in Bernie Sanders (because she was sure Biden would win New Jersey), and several didn't answer. See who said what below.
• Some ruled out running for another office besides Hoboken council, while others clearly kept the door open.
• They gave a variety of views on flooding, local politics, and adding summer recreational programs for kids (although some suggested they'd have to wait for park and building construction to finish before adding programs).

With early voting, you can vote through tomorrow evening. Get the specifics on where to vote in Hoboken with this link.

Patch will be posting results and tally updates throughout Tuesday night and this week as they are released.
