HOBOKEN, NJ — More than three dozen Hoboken residents came together last weekend in support of self-described "political outsider" Joshua Einstein's campaign for Hoboken City Council in November.

According to a news release from Einstein, who is running as an independent candidate, he is "unaligned with any local political clan."

Speaking at his afternoon campaign rally on July 8 at the Hoboken Hothouse, Einstein said it was great to see support at a time when "many people find local politics particularly toxic and disenchanting."
