Founder Of Local Cannabis Group To Challenge Hoboken Council Incumbent
Candidates for Hoboken City Council usually don't announce their races this early in the year, but a few residents are already gearing up for a tough battle against incumbents in November 2023.
On Monday, Liz Urtecho, who founded a local activist group called Hoboken for Responsible Cannabis, announced she will face Councilman Phil Cohen for the 5th Ward seat in fall.
Among Hoboken's six wards, the 5th covers the northwest section of town, which has been bustling with redevelopment of parks and residential areas.
