The race for Common Council president appears to be heating up. Gossips learned today that Claire Cousin intends to run for the position of Common Council president, joining Dominic Merante and Margaret Morris. Cousin was appointed to the Hudson Housing Authority Board of Commissioners by Mayor Kamal Johnson in 2020, and she continues to serve in that position. In 2021 and 2o23, she attained the position of First Ward supervisor, each time running unopposed. Last year, she unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Didi Barrett to be the Democratic candidate for the 106th Assembly District. In December 2024, Cousin resigned as First Ward supervisor because she was moving from the First Ward, where she lived in a house owned by Galvan, to the Fifth Ward.
The news that Cousin is planning to run for Common Council president raises the question of whether Tom DePietro intends to seek a fifth term in that position.COPYRIGHT 2025 CAROLE OSTERINK
