"Let’s Build a Safer, Stronger, and More United Jersey City – Together!"
Jersey City is on the cusp of transformation—and with your support, we will unleash its full potential. This campaign is not just about electing a new mayor. It’s about igniting a powerful movement that puts people first, that restores trust, that builds up communities, and that delivers results for every single resident—from our youth to our seniors, from small business owners to public servants, from renters to aspiring homeowners.
This is a bold vision. A people-powered, solutions-driven, community-rooted plan to uplift every ward of Jersey City. Here’s how we do it—together.
Safety starts with trust, accountability, and connection. That’s why we’re reinventing Neighborhood Safety Councils—not just as monthly meetings, but as dynamic, two-way relationships between residents and those who serve them.
Bi-weekly check-ins between Police Captains and Community Relations Officers and the community will ensure no concern goes unheard.
Monthly in-person meetings will bring us face-to-face to solve problems and plan actionable solutions together.
We’re establishing Community Centers in every ward, hubs where our youth are mentored, families access services, and neighbors unite.
We won’t stop there. We will launch a Violence Interrupters Program, hiring and training formerly incarcerated individuals who understand the streets and can mediate conflict before violence happens. And we’ll bring Youth Conflict Resolution Workshops directly into our schools and community centers, teaching nonviolence and emotional intelligence to the next generation.
Empowered communities are safe communities. We’ll revitalize the Neighborhood Watch Program, partnering you—block by block—with local police and safety councils. This is about building trust, not fear. This is about us.
Housing is a human right. Dignity is non-negotiable. We will roll out Transitional Housing for Young Adults and Homeless Residents, giving our most vulnerable neighbors not just shelter, but wraparound services—mental health support, job training, and a clear path forward. This isn’t temporary—it’s transformative.
And our seniors won’t be left behind. We’ll develop ADA-compliant senior housing with real space, real services, and real independence—complete with on-site urgent care and accessible supermarkets.
Funding? We’ve done the homework. We’ll tap into Aspire, NJRA, HMFA, CDBG, HUD, and more—without raising your taxes. This isn’t a wish list. This is a work plan.
Everyone deserves a roof over their head—and a fair shot at owning it. We’re bringing affordable housing rooted in New Urbanism to every ward—mixed-income, walkable, and inclusive communities.
Priority housing for teachers, nurses, police, and firefighters.
$40,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers.
$25,000 in homeowner support for those trying to stay in their homes.
And affordable senior units that honor aging with dignity.
This is how we preserve the soul of Jersey City—by protecting the people who call it home.
Local business is the heartbeat of our economy. Our Accessible Resource Portal will simplify every step—from getting a permit to finding grants—and when your new business opens, we’ll be there with scissors and a guide to growing strong.
In underserved areas, we’ll incentivize new businesses that reflect and enrich our communities—barbershops, bookstores, cafés, childcare, tech hubs. If you have a dream, Jersey City will help it thrive.
A clean city is a proud city. We’ll revive the Incinerator Authority to enhance sanitation and create local jobs—ensuring every neighborhood shines.
Our Sustainable City Initiative will bring compost bins to every corner, convert vacant land into lush community gardens, and create green, breathable space in every ward. Parks will be reborn with inclusive play structures, ADA access, and beautiful features for everyone to enjoy.
No more transit deserts. We’re launching a cross-town bus system that runs east to west, connecting underserved areas like Communipaw Avenue and beyond. Working with NJ Transit, we’ll push for expanded bus lines and a more connected light rail.
And for our neurodiverse families, we’ll open two ABA centers, because every child deserves support close to home.
Introducing the City Perks Program: Imagine earning rewards for simply doing good. Volunteer. Ride public transit. Show up at community meetings. In return? Discounts on your water bill. Coupons to local shops. A better city and real rewards in your pocket.
This is more than policy—it’s a philosophy. A movement. A belief that every voice matters, and every action counts.
This campaign is not just a platform. It’s a promise. A commitment to show up, to listen, to lead with compassion, and to work relentlessly for you.
We are building a Jersey City that is safer, greener, equitable, and more connected than ever before. A city where every child, every senior, every small business, every dream has a place to grow.
But I can’t do it alone.
I need you!
Your vote is your change.
Your belief is my fuel.
Your trust is the cornerstone of this new beginning.
Let’s rise together. Let’s win together. Let’s build the Jersey City we deserve.
