Peter Cammarano

Hoboken Mayor, Peter Cammarano has been arrested as part of a broad inquiry on corruption. Jersey City deputy mayor Leona Beldini and former Jersey City council president L Harvey Smith were also reported to be among those arrested.

Peter Cammarano, a handsome and young, 32-years old, is the new mayor for Hoboken, NJ.

Cammarano allegedly took a bribe in return for giving priority to an undercover FBI informant posing as a real estate developer.

About Peter Cammarano:

Peter Cammarano III (born July 22, 1977) is the 37th mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, serving since 2009. He was born in Wayne, New Jersey and attended Boston University and Seton Hall University School of Law. In a 2005 run-off election he was elected Councilman-at-Large in Hoboken[1] and became Hoboken's youngest mayor in 2009.

In 2009 he won the Hoboken mayoral election, though his electoral victory against Dawn Zimmer was not without controversy. His margin of victory was only 161 votes, pulling ahead thanks to absentee and provisional ballots. Zimmer's three running mates won control of the city council despite Cammarano's mayoral victory.

He was sworn at to office on July 1, 2009. Cammarano, who was 31 years old at the time he took office, became the youngest Mayor of Hoboken in history.
