James Solomon Turns in 583 Petitions to Qualify for Ward E Ballot; Demonstrates Overwhelming Grassroots Support

Demonstrating an outpouring of grassroots support for his unbought and unbossed campaign, James Solomon turned in 583 petitions to the Jersey City Clerk’s office to add his name to the Ward E Ballot. Solomon turned in more than double the required 263 signatures.

Over two dozen volunteers canvassed downtown Jersey City this summer, speaking to hundreds of voters.  They shared James’ message of bringing progressive, pragmatic, and principled leadership to the city council. His call to reform development in Jersey City clearly resonated with voters who shared serious concerns that development meets the short-term needs of politicians but not the long-term needs of our city.
