Re-Elect Tiffanie Fisher

Tiffanie tells it like it is

I strongly urge you to re-elect Tiffanie Fisher for 2nd Ward Council Person.
Tiffanie has been labeled by her opponents as a naysayer and obstructionist. She is in fact a truthsayer.
Why are they so intent on silencing Tiffanie?
Her newsletters aim to inform and engage. Isn't it important for people to know what is happening that will affect their lives?
If you are asking for the most important characteristics that a council person should have it would include :
Caring about her constituents and all the people in Hoboken.
Demonstrated intelligence and competence.
The willingness and open mindedness to explore all sides of an issue in some depth, and then to fully share her knowledge and opinions both pro and con to the people she serves, which include not only her ward constituents but everyone in Hoboken.
Then to have the courage of her convictions by standing up for what she believes is right regardless of personal consequences. Tiffanie lives up to these high standards.
I don’t call that obstruction. I call that democracy at its best. Lack of transparency is an obstruction to democracy. Being silent or just approving every proposal, regardless of whether it has been seriously discussed, is the real obstruction to the democratic process. At a time when democracy is under attack in this country and the world, the last thing we need is to abandon it in Hoboken. Help to keep yourself informed and democracy alive by re-electing Tiffanie.
