Ramos campaign war chest in Newark mayorial race now more than $500,000

BELLEVILLE – Nanina’s in the Park restaurant borders Branch Brook Park, where thousands of cherry blossoms bloom every spring. On Monday night, Newark mayoral candidate Anibal Ramos, Jr., blocks from the North Ward councilman’s neighborhood, hoped that thousands of dollars would appear in his campaign coffers at his holiday fundraiser.

“You all are showing a lot of people that you didn’t get the memo that [Ramos] was dropping out, did you?” said campaign manager Carlos Valentin, Jr. to the more than 150 Ramos supporters assembled, including North Ward power broker Steve Adubato (pictured). “Not only is he not dropping out, but he’s in it to win it.”

Ramos has been trying to quash rumors that surfaced last month that his campaign is troubled, including from allies of Ramos who anonymously told PolitickerNJ.com last month that his campaign has not been aggressive enough. (Bonamo/PolitickerNJ)
