Vijay Chaudhuri has stepped down from his role as Chief of Staff to Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla, departing City Hall after a decade to pursue a career in political and government consulting. He was succeeded by Christine Stoll, who, interestingly, is also his wife. She took over the role on Feb. 28.
Announcing Chaudhari's departure earlier this year, Bhalla said, “Vijay Chaudhuri is one of the finest public servants I have had the privilege of working alongside. His unwavering commitment to Hoboken and his deep understanding of government have helped transform our City for the better.”

“Vijay has been a driving force behind some of our most ambitious and consequential projects, and he has played a pivotal role in shaping Hoboken’s progress. Simply put, Hoboken is a better, safer, and stronger city because of him and while I am saddened to see him go, I have no doubt that he will continue to make a difference in his next steps. I wish him nothing but success in the next chapter of his career," Bhalla added.
Chaudhuri, who has served the City of Hoboken since 2015, began his tenure as Chief of Staff to former Mayor Dawn Zimmer before later assuming communications and leadership roles under Mayor Bhalla’s administration. In 2017, he managed Bhalla’s successful mayoral campaign, which made history with Bhalla becoming New Jersey’s first Sikh mayor.
“Serving the residents of Hoboken has been the honor and privilege of a lifetime,” Chaudhuri said. “I am deeply grateful to Mayor Zimmer for asking me to join her administration in 2015, and to Mayor Bhalla for his many years of unwavering commitment to Hoboken, both of whom entrusted me with the opportunity to help lead City Hall over the past decade. I am incredibly proud to have worked alongside both Mayors, members of the City Council, and my trusted colleagues on countless, game-changing projects that have made Hoboken the best urban city in New Jersey to live in.”
Before his work in Hoboken, Chaudhuri served as director of Community Relations for the U.S. Representative Joseph Crowley, then chair of the Queens Democratic Party, representing New York’s 14th Congressional District. He holds a B.A. in political science from Wesleyan University.
