Sources say that U.S. Rep. Albio Sires will endorse Mark Smith for Mayor of Bayonne next week. Sires’ support of Smith isn’t a surprise: the Hudson County Democratic Organization is supporting Smith in the November non-partisan special election to replace Joseph Doria, and Sires is closely allied with the HCDO. And Sires staffer Erica Daugherty has been working hard to help Smith win the mayoralty.
