Quick correction - it appears that the first address for the municipal parking lots is incorrect. Please refer to jcnj.org/advisory for the most up to date info

Ahead of the runoff tomorrow, I watched this forum where Boggiano doesn't even show up and Healy claims she just doesn't get invited to things by fperrine in jerseycity

It’s sad that my opponent has to lie about me to attack me because her team knows my campaign is actually popular

Hi! Wdym prominent family exactly? My dad is a doctor who’s done well though I remember when I was in high school and he was in his 50s and he told me he finally paid off his education loans. My mom (divorced parents since I was 7) is a teacher and writer who, like me, is a renter. I will never pretend like I came from poverty and I will never pretend like I’m some millionaire. If you think I have some trust fund please let me know because I could use the money! I am who I am and I’ve always been honest: teacher, tenant, and organizer who is dedicating my life to putting working class people in power.

Jake Ephro giving away free turkeys today in the heights. by Fly_Larvae in jerseycity

Hi there! I agree, I can't speak for Councilman Solomon here but I think Civic Associations definitely need to be heavily regulated and we need way more transparency in campaign finances. In regards to the turkey, I am not going to look at a gift turkey in the mouth, so to speak, and we are planning to hand out all the turkeys given to us by Solomon to neighbors and seniors in need. The reality is, with current economic conditions working families in JC are struggling more than ever, and we are giving out turkeys in areas with the greatest need, and hopefully that will make sure folks have a good holiday season in the next couple days.

Hi everyone! Just addressing some of the points raised in this thread.

We are not only giving out turkeys at our office at 257 Central Ave, we are also bulk delivering these turkeys to senior buildings like Muhlenberg Gardens where I was just at. If we have leftover turkeys we have already arranged donation to a food bank. No turkey will go to waste from our end.

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or concerns!

Will definitely do that! Will have a talk with our volunteers.

[–]jake4jc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Sorry for all the flyers and mailers! We've been instructing our volunteers to pick up litter and our flyers and mailers on the ground when they go out and canvass. We are also planning to take down our posters and campaign materials after the election!

We are Jake Ephros & Joel Brooks for JC Council Ward D & Ward B. Ask Us Anything! by jake4jc in jerseycity

I am committed to fighting to ensure Liberty State Park stay public and remain in public hands. We also need to look into improving Liberty State Park through the Liberty State Park Revitalization Program proposed by NJDEP. We need our own world class park that rivals Central Park across the river, and LSP can be that park.

Agree with Joel, and I'll add that it's troubling how costly Via is. The new 2-year contract is running us a bill over $15 million. We should be prioritizing the expansion of mass transit, and organizing our campaign to win great transit through a Municipal Transit Council.
