supermarkets. Few years back, she petioned 8 supermarkets and made the case for Jersey City. Advocated on behalf of parents and collaborated with the JCBOE in the recent school rezoning plans. Championed improvements to parking regulations in her neighborhoods, traffic safety and installing stop signs for
