Hudson County Commissioner – District 9
Parking is one of the most pressing quality-of-life issues facing District 9 and it’s getting worse.
Flooding on our county roads isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a public safety issue. When roads flood, people can’t get to work.
Hudson County families deserve a government that respects every taxpayer dollar. I will work to control costs, cut waste.
Public safety isn’t a platform issue for me, it’s personal. As a police officer, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to keep our communities safe.
Organized labor built the middle class and in Hudson County, it remains the backbone of our economy. As County Commissioner.
Leadership doesn’t happen from behind a desk. It means showing up, listening, and fighting until the job is done.
Hudson County Commissioners are the elected officials who run our county government, essentially the county-wide version of a city or town council. They pass local laws, oversee critical public services, and decide how hundreds of millions of tax dollars are spent each year.
County government plays a major role in our daily lives, often in ways people don’t realize. Commissioners make decisions that impact the judicial system, law enforcement, education, the environment, open space, job training, economic development, housing, and support for our local communities. They fund and oversee core public services including:
District 9 includes Kearny, Harrison, East Newark, Secaucus, and Jersey City.
In fact, Hudson County Commissioners vote on a budget of over $700 million, shaping everything from infrastructure to essential public programs across our communities.
But here’s the problem: most residents don’t know who their commissioner is or what they actually do.

Think of a County Commissioner like a City Councilmember for the whole county. They pass local laws that affect housing, transit, parking, and public safety—and they decide how much each department gets.
Yet most people don’t know who their commissioner is or what they do. That’s why accountability matters —and why this race matters.
District 9 includes Kearny, Harrison, East Newark, Secaucus, and Jersey City.
