Progress is on the move in New Jersey! Our Revolution is proud to celebrate James Solomon’s advancement to the runoff in the Jersey City mayoral race — a major step toward electing a people-powered, climate-focused mayor who refuses to be bought or bossed.
✊ A Progressive Fighter for Jersey City
As a City Councilmember, James Solomon has built a reputation as a bold, principled progressive who stands up for working people and puts the public good before corporate developers. He has fought to strengthen tenant protections, end sweetheart deals for big developers, and bring greater transparency and accountability to city government.
James has also been recognized as a national leader on climate action — earning the endorsement of Climate Cabinet Action for his work to advance climate resilience, green infrastructure, and environmental justice across Jersey City. His vision for the city is clear: clean air, affordable housing, and a government that works for everyone — not the wealthy few.
🌹 Our Revolution’s Movement in Action
With this victory, James Solomon and Our Revolution members have proven that grassroots organizing can overcome big money and political insiders. This campaign has mobilized residents from every neighborhood — renters, workers, students, and small business owners — all united by a vision of a city where everyone can thrive.
As the campaign heads into the runoff, Our Revolution is ready to keep organizing — calling voters and meeting voters wherever they’re at to spread the message that real change comes from the bottom up, not the top down.
💪 When We Organize, We Win
James Solomon’s advancement to the runoff is a powerful testament to what happens when ordinary people stand up to entrenched power and demand a government that truly serves them.
Our Revolution is proud to stand with James and the movement for a more just, sustainable, and transparent Jersey City. Together, we’re building the kind of politics that puts people and planet before profit.
