Ilhan Omar to Jersey City as we rally for working families. Jersey City\u2019s working communities are facing rising costs, daily struggles to make ends meet, and a Trump administration bent on undermining them at every turn,\u201d Ali said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The rally will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday, followed by a press conference at 2 p.m. The scenario didn\u2019t arise out of the blue: Omar endorsed Ali for mayor back in May, as <a href=\"https:\/\/hudsoncountyview.com\/congresswoman-ilhan-omar-supporting-mussab-ali-for-jersey-city-mayor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HCV first reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross this country, families are under attack by an authoritarian administration. We won\u2019t be silent. I\u2019m proud to stand up with Jersey City, Mussab Ali, and the immigrant and working-class communities that make our country great,\u201d Omar added.<\/p>\n<p>The race to succeed Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who ran for governor instead of seeking a fourth term, has seven candidates on the nonpartisan November 4th ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Former Gov. Jim McGreevey, Hudson County Commissioner Bill O\u2019Dea (D-2), Council President Joyce Watterman, Ward E Councilman James Solomon, Police Officer Christina Freeman, and Kalki Jayne-Rose are the other mayoral hopefuls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"U.S. Rep.
