2025 Hoboken Mayoral, Council, and Board of Education Results.... Round 1

Hoboken voters will head back to the polls on December 2 after no candidate secured a majority in the November 4 mayoral election. According to unofficial results with nearly all districts reporting, Emily Jabbour finished first with 5,022 votes, followed by Michael Russo with 4,561. Because neither reached the 50% threshold required under city rules, the two will face each other in a runoff to decide the next mayor.

The seven-candidate field split the vote among several well-known local figures. Tiffanie Fisher finished third with 3,593 votes, while Ruben Ramos Jr. received 2,791. Dini Ajmani earned 2,426 votes. Patricia Waiters and a small number of write-ins rounded out the totals. In all, 18,676 ballots were cast in the mayoral race.

The council-at-large contest is also expected to continue into a runoff. Jabbour’s running mates Steve Firestone, Caitlin Layson, and Joe Quintero currently lead. On the opposing slate, Pete Keeling and Nicole Magaña are positioned to advance as well. The final spot appears to be between Liz Urtecho and former Councilman Dave Mello, who ran with Fisher. More clarity is expected once results are certified.

  In the 6th Ward, voters selected a successor to the late Jen Giattino,      who died one year ago this week. Diane Imus, supported by Fisher, won the four-person race by a wide margin, defeating Ryan Cunningham, Ian Rintel, and Manny Rivera Soler.

With several key decisions still ahead, Hoboken’s political landscape remains in motion. The December runoff will determine the city’s next mayor and finalize the council’s makeup for the coming term.

PLEASE NOTE: The runoff is on DECEMBER 2, 2025----
