Hudson County Commissioner of District 2. 30 year public servant. Candidate for Jersey City Mayor 2025
Joined March 2014
Thank you to everyone who PACKED THE HOUSE at my 2025 Jersey City Mayoral Campaign announcement. I was overwhelmed by the support I received for my candidacy. Residents of Jersey City want to be heard and showed that they are in control of their next government leader.

The fire this morning at the Newport PATH station is more proof that the system is failing Jersey City residents. We need action from the Port Authority NOW to fix the PATH and invest in public transit!.
A fire broke out at Newport PATH Station in Jersey City this morning, filling a train with smoke and forcing passengers to evacuate. At least 9 were hospitalized:

I’ve been a supporter of adding Bus Rapid Transit to Kennedy Boulevard for years, so I’m glad to see the County Executive make this announcement. Feasibility studies and mockups are good, but JC residents deserve to see this plan move forward, and as Mayor I’ll make it a priority.
Making our streets safer includes improving public transit options in Hudson County. Today, County Executive Guy released the statement above regarding a possible Bus Rapid Transit route on JFK Boulevard. Read more at #HudsonCounty #SafeStreetsForAll

The PATH is failing the people of #JerseyCity, and that’s why I went to the Port Authority Board meeting to demand better for our residents. What we’re asking for is not a luxury, it’s the bare minimum that our city needs.

I spoke to both @RajMukherji and Ron Greco of @JCEA_jerseycity earlier today. If there are any appointed members in the future they must be non-voting. Now I’m hopeful that we can all work together to restore the $250 million in state aid that has been cut from our schools.

Any attempt to disenfranchise Jersey City voters is unacceptable, so I’m glad to see that this bill will not be advancing and thank Senator Mukherji for listening to the people.

The political machine wants to take control away from the people by moving to an appointed school board. This is an outrageous, undemocratic attack on our community, and as Mayor I’ll put a stop to it and preserve our right to choose our own elected leaders. Our City, Our Choice!.

Enough is enough! @PATHTrain meltdowns are putting our safety and sanity at risk. It’s time to stop sitting back and start holding @PANYNJ accountable. For those who say the city doesn’t have the power to fix this problem, I say watch. Let’s make the trains work. #fixthepath
