Just wrapped a powerful day in Hoboken, NJ with my fellow Councilmembers, Pa. State Representatives, and community leaders. Shout out to @PhillipsDist9, @RepNapoleon, and Rep. Darisha Parker for taking time out of your schedules to attend this very informative trip. 1/

As it is literally inscribed on Lady Liberty, ‘Give me your ... huddled masses yearning to breathe free... I lift my lamp beside the golden door.'  My administration will be a lamp for all those who seek assistance. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office. We are here for you. See my full statement here & resources we are providing.

On the ballot in Hoboken is a critical referendum where the future of rent control is at stake. Wealthy corporate landlords and special interests are attempting to gut critical rent control protections, in an attempt to profit at the hands of Hoboken tenants. Help us save rent control: vote NO at the polls or via Vote by Mail (reverse side of the ballot).

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one. I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

Thank you for your early vote! Also, I assure you, my father (pictured here with my brother and me) is gold-bar free.

Yay I did it. I voted for @AndyKimNJ and @RaviBhalla.

On the trail with Jersey City Councilman @SolomonForJC for our final GOTV push. Polls close at 8pm!

This month is 20 yrs since I started serving the country, first as an intern and now today I’m on the ballot to be the Dem nominee for Senate. I’ve been blessed to serve, working my way up from a desk in the photocopy room. But I always remembered my 1st lesson in service. THREAD

In the last two hours, Austin voted to lower the minimum lot size needed to build a home from 5,750 SF to 1,800 SF, and Cincinnati just voted on its biggest zoning reform update in decades. Here’s to more affordable and inclusive communities; we are just getting started! 🥳🎉

On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we stand in support of our LGBTQIA+ communities across the world. In Hoboken, I’m proud to highlight the formation of our Pride Advisory Committee, which is now hard at work planning events for Pride Month! 🌈 I’m incredibly proud Hoboken has received a perfect 100% score six year in a row from @HRC for our inclusive policies, one of only five cities in NJ to do so. But we are committed to doing even more, and the committee will be announcing a full slate of Pride events shortly.

Get your resume ready! The Office of Constituent Services and HCST Community Resource Center will host a job fair on May 8 at the Multi-Service Center, 124 Grand St. More info: local.nixle.com/alert/10890767/

@upzonenj Hoboken has recently approved hundreds of units to be built near the PATH. As one of the most densely populated places in America, pretty sure we are doing our fair share.

It's a climate crisis, you can't have buildings this small that close to PATH. jerseydigs.com/301-311-washin…

The City of Hoboken hasn't had a traffic death in 7-years. This isn't luck, the City has transformed many of their streets and dangerous intersections city-wide to eliminate as many conflict points and 'blind spots' as possible, making streets safer for all users.

Happy to see Hudson County make this decision. I had planned to sponsor a resolution for next #Hoboken Council Mtg to urge no appeal. Thank you @countyclerkhc for doing what is right for Hudson County voters. Thank you to @StevenFulop and @BillOdeaJC for your advocacy as well.

Big surprise. A party boss doesn’t like democracy.

Due to the tireless advocacy of so many, the county line is finally gone. It’s why I submitted an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit. Now, New Jersey will get what 49 other states have: free and fair elections. A great day for democracy.

BREAKING: A Federal judge blocks New Jersey's county line ballot design for 2024 primary. A great day for democracy, and a huge win for those that challenged the Status Quo like @AndyKimNJ & @RaviBhalla!

It takes courage to know when it’s time to suspend a campaign. I am grateful that Tammy Murphy did so. Most of all I am thrilled for my friend @AndyKimNJ. The insiders counted you out, the grassroots brought you in. It’s time now to unite behind our presumptive nominee. And I look forward to working with you to finish what all of us started — and keeping fighting until we #AbolishTheLine.

The Hoboken Democratic Committee is pleased to endorse @AndyKimNJ for U.S. Senate and @RaviBhalla for U.S. House of Representatives. The committee held a meeting this evening to conduct a vote, by secret ballot, of the elected members to endorse a candidates.
