Tiffanie for Hoboken

On one of the proudest days of my life, I was sworn in as Councilwoman representing Hoboken’s 2nd Ward on January 1st, 2016. Since then, I have worked tirelessly to bring transparency, accountability, and smart decision-making to our city government—ensuring that Hoboken is run better for everyone. Now, I am ready to take that leadership to the next level as Hoboken’s next mayor.

I moved to Hoboken nearly 30 years ago, in July 1994, to work in New York City after earning my MBA in Finance and Strategic Management from the University of Minnesota. Over the years, I’ve lived in nearly every ward before settling in the 2nd Ward in 2000, where I have lived—except for a few years abroad—ever since. I love Hoboken and my neighborhood, and you can often find me walking my dog Brownie, talking with neighbors, and always looking for ways to improve our quality of life.
Before public service, I spent over two decades as a leader and private-sector executive in commercial real estate finance, most recently as CFO of Blackstone’s Brixmor Property Group (I resigned in 2013), the second-largest shopping center company in the U.S. My career also includes roles in banking, private equity, and real estate development, giving me the financial expertise to ensure that Hoboken’s economic decisions prioritize long-term fiscal health and taxpayer interests.
My path to public service started with grassroots advocacy—first for pedestrian safety in my neighborhood and then against the proposed Monarch Project, which led me to co-found Hoboken Residents for a Public Waterfront. I was twice appointed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, where I used my professional experience and deep knowledge of Hoboken to push for responsible development that respects our community’s character. Encouraged by neighbors and after being asked three times by Mayor Zimmer, I decided to run for office in 2015.
As your Councilwoman, I have been a consistent advocate for:

• Smart and transparent development that benefits Hoboken residents, not just developers.

• Fiscal responsibility to ensure that taxpayers get the best value for their money.

• Public safety and quality of life improvements, from pedestrian safety and traffic calming to addressing e-bike enforcement and public nuisances.

• Protecting our community's character by advocating for policies that support economic and cultural diversity.

Over the years, my role as Councilwoman has grown beyond just representing the 2nd Ward—I have fought for policies that impact all of Hoboken. Whether advocating for responsible development, improving public safety, or securing funding for infrastructure projects, my focus has always been on ensuring that our government serves its residents first. I believe Hoboken deserves leadership that prioritizes the people who live here, not political interests.
Now, as I take the next step toward leading our city, my commitment remains the same: unite our community to deliver the best results, put residents first in every decision, and ensure that our government is as good as the people it serves. I plan to lead with experience, engage with you on the issues that matter most, and deliver the best results for our future.
