Statement from Mayor Solomon:
"I will never stop fighting to protect Jersey City's immigrant communities, and today's ruling renews my fight. 40% of Jersey City residents were born in another country, and this diversity is what makes our communities stronger and more vibrant."

Jersey City is in an impossible situation right now, and we're going to need help from the state to close this budget deficit.
I’m working with colleagues across Hudson to get $120M from Trenton because we need the help, and because what’s best for Jersey City is best for NJ.
I'm committed to being as open and transparent as possible about our financial crisis in these difficult times. Here's a breakdown of the scope of the crisis we're in, and how our record-breaking ask for state aid combined with a tax increase will put us back on solid ground. — M

This Juneteenth, reflect on the stories of the tens of thousands of freedom-seekers who sought refuge in the homes of abolitionists and formerly enslaved people who lived in Jersey City.
This week, we held community meetings in Ward F and D where I heard directly from residents about our vision for building affordable housing in Jersey City. I'm committed to always putting the community at the center of my decision-making.
That vacant lot or abandoned home on your block? It could be a house you can afford. That’s why Mayor Solomon advanced a plan to take over 2,000 abandoned properties and turn them into affordable housing for workers.
