Peter J. Cammarano III (born July 22, 1977) was the 37th Mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, serving from July 1 until July 31, 2009. On July 23, 2009, just 22 days after assuming office, Cammarano was arrested by the FBI as part of a major political corruption and international money laundering conspiracy probe known as Operation Bid Rig.
He was born on July 22, 1977 in Wayne, New Jersey and attended Boston University and Seton Hall University School of Law.
He moved to Hoboken, New Jersey in 2001 while attending Seton Hall University School of Law. He was Hoboken's coordinator of the John Kerry presidential campaign, 2004, and in 2006 was the New Jersey legal director in Senator Robert Menendez's campaign.
In a 2005 run-off election, he was elected Councilman-at-Large in Hoboken. At the time he was an associate attorney at Genova, Burns & Vernoia, a top election law firm.
On June 9, 2009, Cammarano won the Hoboken Mayor's race in a runoff election, beating Dawn Zimmer by 161 votes. Observers credited his victory to absentee and provisional ballots in combination with hiring many residents from districts that eventually voted in large numbers for him. Zimmer's three running mates won control of the city council despite Cammarano's mayoral victory.
Cammarano was sworn into office on July 1, 2009. At 32, Cammarano became the youngest mayor in city history. On July 23, 2009, just 22 days after assuming office, Cammarano was arrested by the FBI as part of a major political corruption and international money laundering conspiracy probe known as Operation Bid Rig. Cammarano was charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey with accepting $25,000 in cash bribes from an undercover cooperating witness.
