Congrats to the new Mayor of Jersey City — James Solomon — on his victory in tonight’s runoff election!

The people of Jersey City made their voices heard, choosing bold, progressive leadership for their city’s future. Our Revolution is proud to celebrate this grassroots-powered win.

Principled, independent, and unafraid to challenge entrenched interests, James Solomon has built a reputation as a champion for working families. As Ward E Councilperson, he consistently stood on the side of the people.

During his time on the council, James led the fight for:

  • Affordable housing and strong renter protections
  • Expanded public transit and a more sustainable, walkable city
  • Transparency and ethics reform in local government
  • Policies that prioritize residents over wealthy developers

Tonight’s victory is a testament not only to James’s tireless work, but to the power of grassroots organizing. This is a win for the people — and a win for a more just, more accountable Jersey City.

We look forward to working alongside Mayor-elect Solomon to advance bold solutions for housing justice, workers’ rights, climate resilience, and true democratic reform.

When we organize, we win!
