Wintner to run for council on Team Matsikoudis

JERSEY CITY — Esther Wintner, a civic activist in Jersey City, will be running as an at-large council candidate on a ticket headed by Mayoral Candidate Bill Matsikoudis.
“Realizing that we both wanted what was best for Jersey City, we began working together on issues,” Matsikoudis said. “Esther helped the City recoup millions of dollars when she advocated for an audit of a Downtown abatement. She was instrumental in obtaining a DOJ grant when she worked with police leadership that helped hire additional police officers.”
Matsikoudis is running for mayor against incumbent Steve Fulop in November, and has already announced a number of council candidates. Wintner has been a very vocal critic of this and previous administrations. She previously ran for city council as a Ward B candidate.
