Sandra Cunningham was replaced on the county Democratic party’s list of 31st District candidates in the November elections.... But Tuesday, via a whisper campaign and then a press release, the county was told Assemblywoman Angela McKnight would run for Cunningham’s senate seat in the June primary and Barbara Stamato — the powerful Hudson County Democratic Organization’s vice chairwoman head of the Jersey City Democratic Organization — would run for one of the two assembly seats currently held by McKnight and William Sampson IV."

"Assemblyman William Sampson (D-Bayonne) and Hudson County Commissioner Jerry Walker (D-Jersey City) have won two seats in the 31st legislative district, the New Jersey Globe projects, after getting through a competitive Democratic primary against allies of Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop.... This year's Hudson County War, however, threw things out of whack. Sampson stuck with the Hudson County Democratic organization (HCDO), which endorsed Mikie Sherrill for governor, but McCann Stamato remained loyal to Fulop, creating a split in the delegation; the HCDO recruited Walker to beat McCann Stamato, who was joined on her own ticket by Bayonne Councilwoman Jacqueline Weimmer."
