On the ‘Talk on the Hudson’ podcast, hosted by Dr. Fernando Uribe, the topic of a new “political war” in Hudson County was discussed with Hudson County Reporter’s Al Sullivan.

“Apparently, Senator Sacco wants to become the [New Jersey] Senate President. And wants to move Mr. Sweeney [current Senate President] out of the way.

Cunningham of Jersey City will be pushed out by Hudson County Democrats in order to give the North Bergen Mayor an advantage. Cunningham is a strong supporter of Sweeney with family ties.
