Stack won't back Marenco for Assembly – New Jersey Globe
Union City Mayor Brian P. Stack will not support freshman Assemblyman Julio Marenco (D-West New York) for re-election next year in Hudson County’s 33rd district as part of a rapidly escalating fight with North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco.
Marenco faces a tough battle for a second term in the legislature without the support of Stack, who is also the state senator from the same district.
Two sources with direct knowledge of Stack’s plans confirmed that Marenco is a non-starter for Stack in 2025.
When a new legislative map was approved in 2022, Stack and Sacco found themselves in the same legislative district. A week later, Sacco announced that he would not seek re-election after 30 years in the Senate and endorsed Stack. The relationship between the two, never good, has bottomed out over the last year.
Part of the redistricting deal was that Marenco, a North Bergen commissioner and longtime Sacco running mate, would get one of the Assembly seats. The other went to West New York Stacks’ choice, West New York Mayor Gabriel Rodriguez; Rodriguez knocked out six-term incumbent Angelica Jimenez (D-West New York), a Sacco ally. Marenco replaced Assemblyman Pedro Mejia (D-Secaucus).
One possible challenger to Marenco is Larry Wainstein, a businessman and fierce Sacco critic whose parents were born in South America.
Wainstein has run against Sacco in North Bergen three times, each with essentially the same result each time: a 65%-35% loss in 2015, a 68%-32% loss in 2019, and now an even bigger 71%-29% loss last year. But Wainstein can pump serious money into his campaign – he loaned $600,000 to his 2023 campaign – and could win a third of the vote in North Bergen, along with Stack’s ability to deliver massive pluralities in Union City, West New York, and Weehawken.
Still, Stack won’t be on the ballot next year, so his running mates won’t have the benefit of his direct coattails.
Marenco was listed as one of four Hudson County assemblymembers who would run using Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop’s slogan next year; Stack, Hudson County Executive/Democratic County Chairman Craig Guy, West New York Mayor Albio Sires, and Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner have announced their intention to back Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-Wyckoff) for governor if he runs in 2025.

Nearby shooting interrupts 13-year-old’s birthday party in Paterson; 1 killed, 3 injured
PATERSON, New Jersey (WABC) — One person was killed and three others were injured in a shooting in Paterson.
The violence erupted around 6:30 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of East 29th Street and 10th Avenue.
Children nearby gasped in horror at the sound of rapid gunfire. They were just about to sing Happy Birthday to their 13-year-old friend at her backyard party, but instead of blowing out the candles, they ducked for cover when they heard gunshots in the distance.
“Just hearing it – it was scary to witness, to hear. Especially on my birthday. Like a time I’m trying to play with my friends, get together,” said the 13-year-old.
She also says she had a friend who was there who saw what happened.
“He was going to the bodega – he went running back, but he had saw two people come out of a car and then shoot, but it was like an automatic gun,” she added.
Bystanders watched in shock and panic as first responders treated the victims. One of them was lying in the street next to a car and another was on the ground next to a bicycle.
Local councilman Luis Velez says the City of Paterson has taken measures to reduce crime in this part of town – what he calls a ‘hotspot’ — in part by installing security cameras. He is encouraging the community to cooperate.
“Paterson Police is doing their job as I know, they’re doing a great job to reduce crime, but one again we, the police, nobody, not even the news media has a crystal ball to say this is going to happen now,” Velez said, “Some people see corners getting built up, they see activities and they’re afraid to come out and say something, but our police department is trained to keep it confidential and approach to bring the quality of life in this area.”
The 13-year-old hopes her next birthday party is not ruined by the sound of gunshots.
“First we thought it was fireworks, but then we heard sirens and everyone started going home because they were scared,” she added.
