In November, Peter Pantoliano announced he would run against incumbent East Ward Councilman Augusto Amador for the East Ward Council seat.
The elections will take place in May 2010 and will be a battle between the “New City Hall” by Peter Pantoliano and “Little City Hall” of the councilman.
Peter Pantoliano opened his own “Little City Hall” in June 2008 at 62 Jefferson Street as the “Peter Pantoliano Civic Association,” which aims to bring community services to Ironbound residents giving it the name of “New City Hall.”
Augusto Amador maintains his “Little City Hall” at 113 Monroe Street, which supports his constituents.
