Jersey City Councilwoman Nidia Lopez says Orlando is her 'home, too,' a Florida newspaper says

The Star-Ledger reports:

Less than 24 hours after casting her vote on the Jersey City Municipal Council, Ward C Councilwoman Nidia Lopez was back in Florida, trying to convince an Orlando reporter that the Sunshine state is her "home, too."

"Up until March of 2008, Orlando has been my real home," she told Rich McKay of the Orlando Sentinel, who caught up with her yesterday at about noon at her four-bedroom home there. "Then I had two operations, and I couldn't keep going back and forth all the time," she said ... And I got a new husband [Hudson County Director of Family Services Ben Lopez], so I live up there now."

"But this is my home too. All my clothes are here," she added, according to the Sentinel.

Lopez denied making these statements.

"I was misquoted," she said.

Can you name that party?
