An elder told me this: In 1960 MLK Jr. was jailed in Georgia. MLK’s father asked Nixon for help and got nothing. JFK’s team stepped in, and Robert Kennedy helped secure his release. After that, MLK’s father backed Kennedy, helping shift many Black voters toward the Democratic Party.

A company named Trinity Financial built a 277-unit, 100% affordable building in the Bronx with on-site health care, food services, education programs, and homeless rehabilitation support. The building is designed to directly meet residents’ basic needs in one place. We need devs like this in Newark.

In 2023 the city of Newark raised the campaign donation limit for businesses who want city contracts from $300 to $5,500. We are not taking money from businesses in exchange for contracts, but others will. Support a clean, community-funded campaign by grabbing your mayoral pin in the link in my bio.

Newark legend Gloria Gaynor is a 2025 Kennedy Center Honors recipient.

“At first I was afraid, I was petrified” is still one of the strongest opening lines ever. Salute to the legend.

So lucky to live in a city with a subway system. Now we need @booker.senate.gov and @andykimnj.bsky.social to help us expand it.

New opportunities and careers would become accessible to thousands of residents, reducing the conditions that fuel crime, domestic violence, and homicides.

This is the type of self organizing we will need to win. Residents are stepping up on their own, setting their own goals, and taking real action to help us improve our city. Change is coming, Newark.

Councilmember Chi Osse from Brooklyn went hard for Zohran during his campaign, but now that Chi wants to primary Hakeem Jeffries, Zohran won’t endorse him. And Jeffries was hating on Zohran heavy and doesn’t even share the same beliefs as him.

Democrats, please explain this lack of loyalty to me?

I just voted for myself for the first time to help lead the city and community I grew up in. I’ve waited over ten years for this day. I’m at peace with whatever happens because we’ll be right back at it in May.

It’s Election Day!!!

It’s 5:42 AM and I’m on my way to vote for myself. Just like I imagined. I’m at peace with whatever happens because we’ll do it all again in May.

Have an amazing day, everyone.

I’ve been waiting for Zohran to explain how his ideas would actually benefit the city beyond just giving things away. He nailed it here. Every mayor should have a clear and understandable plan to generate revenue. If they don’t, their only plan is to keep taxing everyone to death.

First candidate in Newark’s history to be endorsed by a presidential candidate. Fact check me, please!

Vote 1F on November 4 or vote early before Election Day. Let’s transform our city, y’all.

I spent the evening with Andrew Yang and the team that helped pass the new Child Tax Credit extension. It provides up to $2,200 per child and will increase automatically to match inflation. Up to $1,700 per child is refundable, meaning families can receive that even if they owe no taxes.

Solid.

It's so sad to watch Black elected officials make up things about me. But we must be doing something right.

If 25% of millennials and Gen Z in Newark vote on November 4, we change our city forever.

A reminder that exploitation is not just a human problem. It is found all around us. But we are at a point in our existence where we should know better.

Andrew Yang warned America about AI and pushed for #UBI to protect people. I am doing the same in Newark with my Newark30 plan, warning us about what is coming and giving a real plan for our future.

1F!
