Emily is proud to support a strong public safety department as a Hoboken parent, social worker, and dedicated public servant. She hears from parents and concerned residents every day about the concerns with what they are seeing in our community, and how they feel these concerns should be addressed. Following the multiple violent attacks that took place on Halloween of 2024, she put forward the following proposals in her email newsletter:

From day one, Emily has prioritized constituent services and always does her best to respond to resident inquiries via email, phone, or social media. One of the most difficult things about government is to navigate how to access it and where to go to find an answer. Emily will continue to make it her priority to assist all residents with whatever questions or concerns they may have regarding the function of local government.   

Emily’s awareness of the need for pedestrian safety grew even more heightened when she became a parent living in the city. Walking around town with a stroller and young children combined with her frequent use of a bike to navigate the streets, gave her a unique perspective.

Emily is committed to protecting rent control and advocating for affordable housing in an effort to make Hoboken accessible and affordable for everyone.

Open space enhances the quality of life for all residents, whether that space is used for active recreation or passive enjoyment. The first time Emily spoke at a City Council meeting was in 2017 when the Council was considering the use of eminent domain to acquire Block 10 in SW Hoboken to double the size of the SW Park. Even though her home was in the middle of the City, Emily recognized the importance of acquiring additional open space for all neighborhoods.

Emily is committed to continue to serve the Hoboken community with honesty and integrity. She repeatedly emphasizes that she has no desire to be a politician – she’s a mom and social worker who cares about her community. She’s actively involved in getting things done for Hoboken without letting red tape and political posturing distract her. Emily believes her background and unique perspective as a non-politician are essential qualities for our next Mayor.
