The annual salary for the Hoboken City Council president is $26,541, but was reduced to $23,886 during 2020. You can choose any three on Nov. 2 — and Patch has sent them all questionnaires asking for their basic information, as well as unique questions including: Will you ever run for any other political office besides City Council?Which presidential candidate did you vote for in 2020, and do you believe national politics are relevant to Hoboken elections?How will you increase the city's low-cost recreational options and create some recreation camp options for all ages, especially in summer?
