Hoboken Journal Exclusive- Mike Lenz Campaign Fundraising Kickoff Success
The Mayor and her husband, as well Councilman Bhalla, Mello and Cunningham were also there to show their support from the City Council. Donations were also made in the form of a check only. Councilman Lenz also has setup the facility to take online donations on his website. The crowd consisted of Hoboken reformers and no City Council persons from Jersey City or other outside influences seeking to expand their power base were there. This was an event that was about keeping the momentum going in Hoboken by the people who are generally behind the changes the Zimmer Administration is making. Mayor Zimmer identified Councilman Mike Lenz and his performance as a Councilman as a key component in keeping that progress going.
Mike Lenz going over the issues.
And Mo DeGenaro, bouncing back from a recent bout of illness and showing his support for Mike Lenz.
And now for the video highlights of Mike Lenz and Dawn Zimmer both giving an unscripted speech to supporters….

Hoboken 4th Ward City Councilman Lenz at Fundraiser 6-24-2010:
Editorialized Note: Maurice Fitzgibbons was not present at this event and thus was not spotted whispering in the ears of either the Mayor or Councilman Mike Lenz telling them what to say next and this videographer found that refreshing. Councilman Mike Lenz will have my support this fall as he has demonstrated he is the most qualified person to be on the City Council and he generally supports the good things the Mayor is trying to accomplish for the 4th Ward and the residents of Hoboken as a whole. For the sake of transparency I thought it would be good to put that out there to my readers.
Great coverage Kurt!

I just want to say that although I couldn't attend last night, I will be supporting Michael Lenz this fall too. He has done a wonderful job as 4th Ward councilman and has my total support. I look forward to volunteering for his campaign and donating some cash as well.

It was an huge crowd for a 1st time event and one in a private yard as opposed to a bar where Mike's opposition adds regular bar patrons to the head count for Peter Cammarano's boy wonder

SRO packed house. Glad to see Mo out and about. Hudson County Republican Chair Jose Arango stopped by. Lenz is the budget guru we desperately need in these turbulent times.BOE members also there. Great time in the heat.
