Tiffanie Fisher Prepares To Defend Hoboken City Council Seat

HOBOKEN, NJ — Hoboken Councilwoman Tiffanie Fisher has officially launched her first re-election campaign in the Mile Square City.

This July will be the 25th anniversary of Fisher’s move to the Mile Square City. It will also mark the kick-off event for her campaign, which will take place on July 15 at Madison Bar and Grill.

Fisher – who was sworn in as the city’s 2nd Ward representative in 2016 – will get her first experience as an incumbent this November. She’ll be matching up against Nora Martínez DeBenedetto, a local teacher backed by Mayor Ravi Bhalla.

“Four years ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and run for City Council because I believed my professional finance and real estate background would be valuable to address some of the biggest challenges Hoboken faces,” Fisher said. “By working together, we have already been able to make a positive impact on Hoboken and our track record speaks for itself.”

“We have kept Hoboken on a fiscally responsible path by cutting out wasteful spending, our water system is receiving much needed upgrades through thoughtful and financially beneficial negotiations and we are on our way to completing the award-winning Rebuild By Design resiliency project,” Fisher continued. “While I am incredibly proud of these accomplishments there is still so much to be done to build a better Hoboken for all of us, which is why I am running for City Council again to continue the progress we’ve made.”

According to the municipal website, Fisher graduated from the University of Minnesota with an MBA in finance and strategic management. She has a career spanning two decades in commercial real estate finance, with her most recent position as the CFO of Brixmor Property Group (from which she resigned in 2013). She is the co-founder of Hoboken Residents for a Public Waterfront, and was appointed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment in 2013.
