Uncertainty surrounding many of the candidates running for Governor

I am writing to express my strong endorsement of Steven Fulop as New Jersey’s next Governor. Fulop is a forward-thinking leader with bold ideas and a clear vision for our state’s future. His proven executive experience equips him to turn that vision into reality.

As Mayor of Jersey City, Fulop didn't just talk about progress—he delivered it. He made Jersey City the first municipality in the state to implement a $15 minimum wage for city employees, expanded transportation options, and worked with community groups to lower speed limits in key areas, making streets safer—especially for seniors and children. Under his leadership, crime fell to the lowest level in the city’s history. He also created new parks, increased walking and bike trails, and planted thousands of trees to foster a cleaner, healthier environment.

Fulop collaborated with neighboring mayors and the Jersey City Board of Education to improve government efficiency through shared services, saving taxpayer dollars. He also stood by first responders, refusing to terminate police and fire personnel who chose not to be vaccinated.

Beyond his policies and achievements; Fulop remains accessible—personally responding to constituent emails, remembering their concerns, and following through on his promises.

New Jersey faces serious challenges. Let’s choose a leader prepared to meet them head-on. Let’s elect Steven Fulop as our next Governor.
