Our next State Senator and Union City Mayor, Brian P. Stack, a friend of democracy everywhere, surrounded by members of the UEZ Corporation Board. Stack is the best Mayor Union City ever had, he has been a friend of the Cuban Community as well as all other communities in our diverse city. Stack has made believers of unbelievers and political rivals back in 1998, when he first ran for Union City mayor. Some of the people next to him joined him, after he finally became mayor, to work hard for Union City. Stack is a populist in the true American political tradition. He has been able to unite our community leading by example: nobody works longer hours or harder for Union City than he does. Union City is growing every day. Schools are being built. Business is better than ever. Streets are cleaner. Our Police Department is second to none. He has been a true friend of the editor of this blog, and he maintains a strong following by results not words. Next Tuesday, November 8, Stack is running for the New Jersey State Senate: he’ll win. For my brothers in Miami I’ll say this: this is a special breed of Democrat. You’ll hear about him on this blog and in national politics. He has supported the Cuban cause 100%. He has always maintained an anti-Castro, anti-Communist position. He is one of the few Democrats who sincerely critized the Elián Gonzalez kidnapping when 99% of the democratic party did not raised their voice in justice and anger (including Cuban elected officials) against Janet Reno, Clinton et al. I will never forget that gesture of solidarity with the Cuban community at the cost of political dividend. If you are reading from our district I ask you to get out on Tuesday, November 8, and support someone who deserves it: Brian P. Stack.
