The President of the Peruvian Parade, a large and importan organization in Paterson, this week endorsed Jose “Joey” Torres for mayor.
Torres lost his 2010 re-election bid and this year hopes to regain the Silk City mayoralty.
The Peruvian Parade is a coveted endorsement in Paterson, which Torres did not have four years ago.
Torres is challenging incumbent Mayor Jeff Jones in the May nonpartisan election.
