After the Election - Staying Active

Now that the election is over many people who became active in politics and government on many different levels may want to continue. Here is a list of ideas for those living in Hoboken:

1. Attend city council meetings. In fact there is one tonight at 7pm at city hall. Here is a link to the schedule.

2. Learn more about local officials. You can see a list of council memebers here, many with bios and here for our Mayor. Remember, local elections are next May, only 6 months away!

3. Join the Hoboken Historical Museum. Gain a better understanding of where Hoboken has been in the past and it may help put the present in a clearer context.

These are just a few ideas. I would love to hear more. How are you involved in Hoboken politics? Please leave a comment.

Local elections will be pretty hectic next year. I've attended one "Meet the Candidate" party, and afterwards was contacted by her team to be on a Blue Ribbon Planning Panel. I've never done anything like this before, but there's no time like the present. As time goes on and after I hear more, I'll decide how involved I want to get. It doesn't take much to get active in Hoboken politics.
