GETTING IT DONE FOR HOBOKEN.
IT’S OFFICIAL - I’M RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF HOBOKEN!
I have proudly served our community on city council since 2018 and I’ve seen firsthand the impact good, local governance can have on everyday life. Be it filling annoying potholes and cleaning up trash on your daily commute or tackling big issues like housing affordability and public safety, there truly is no task too big or too small if you’ve got the right attitude.
Hoboken has come such a long way over the years, but there is still so much work to be done to make this special city an even better place to live, work, and raise a family. And as a mom, you better believe I’ve got a long to-do list with new ideas to continue improving our community.
We’ve got more work to do for better schools, safer neighborhoods, improved constituent services, public transportation that works for all of us, and real transparency and accountability in how decisions get made and taxpayer money gets spent.
I’m looking forward to meeting you in living rooms, coffee shops, and parks across our city in the weeks and months ahead. I hope you’ll join us and be part of our grassroots, community campaign.
