The Hoboken Mayoral Election of 2017 was an election to determine who will hold the office of Mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey in the upcoming term of 2018-2022. The election took place on November 7, 2017. Incumbent Mayor Dawn Zimmer announced that she would not run for a third term on June 20, 2017, hoping to pursue climate change issues higher up in the chain of government, and endorsed City Councilman Ravinder Bhalla.[2] On November 7, Bhalla was elected mayor of Hoboken, with 32.75% of the vote, becoming the first Sikh mayor in New Jersey history,[3] and the first turbaned Sikh to be elected mayor in the United States.[4]
