Peter Cammarano
Résumé
Peter J. Cammarano III (born July 22, 1977) is an American disbarred attorney, former Democratic politician and a convicted felon. He was the 37th mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, serving from July 1 until July 31, 2009. Cammarano was arrested by the FBI on corruption charges on July 23, 2009, as part of an international criminal investigation known as Operation Bid Rig; he resigned from office eight days later. He pleaded guilty to extortion in April 2010 and was later sentenced to 24 months in federal prison.
Cammarano was born on July 22, 1977, in Wayne, New Jersey. He graduated from Boston University and Seton Hall University School of Law. In 2001, Cammarano moved to Hoboken, New Jersey. He served as the Hoboken coordinator of the 2004 John Kerry presidential campaign and as the New Jersey legal director for U.S. Senator Robert Menendez's 2006 campaign.
A Democrat, Cammarano was elected Councilman-at-Large in Hoboken in a 2005 run-off election. At the time, he was an associate attorney at Genova, Burns & Vernoia, an election law firm.
On June 9, 2009, Cammarano won the Hoboken Mayor's race in a runoff election, defeating Dawn Zimmer by 161 votes. Observers credited his victory to absentee and provisional ballots, along with the hiring of many residents from districts that eventually voted in large numbers for him. Zimmer's three running mates won control of the City Council despite Cammarano's mayoral victory. Cammarano was sworn into office on July 1, 2009. At age 32, he became the youngest mayor in city history.
On July 23, 2009, just 22 days after assuming office, Cammarano was arrested by the FBI as part of a major political corruption and international money laundering conspiracy probe known as Operation Bid Rig. Cammarano was charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey with accepting $25,000 in cash bribes from an undercover cooperating witness. Cammarano announced his resignation on July 31, 2009. In his resignation letter, Cammarano said, "I apologize to the residents of Hoboken for the disruption and disappointment this case has caused".
