On the recordNovember 14, 2024
Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a dedicated public servant and friend, Hoboken Council President Jen Giattino, who passed away last week. Jen was more than an elected official. She was someone who cared deeply for Hoboken and was a pillar for her community. She was a champion for the unhoused, a compassionate advocate for small business owners, and a warmhearted, generous presence throughout the city that she served and loved. Her legacy will live on in Hoboken and the hearts of all those who had the privilege of knowing her. In this difficult time, my thoughts are with her husband, Joe; her sons, Joe, Jack, and Alex; and her family, friends, and the people of Hoboken who adored her. In her memory, let us live by the example that she set: compassion, generosity, and care for others. ____________________
