James Solomon

Mayor of Jersey City, Dad to Camila, Corinne, & Noelle. Cancer survivor. For the people — not the powerful.

Thank you, Jersey City. Tonight our people-powered movement made it clear: JERSEY CITY IS NOT FOR SALE. We took on the machine and won because families are demanding what they deserve — a city they can afford to live in. Our mandate is simple: make Jersey City affordable, fight corruption, and build a city that works for everyone. An affordable Jersey City starts now — and I’ll never stop fighting for it.

.@CitizensBank made a choice to finance the caging of human beings for profit.

@JerseyCity is making a choice too: we won't be complicit and we’ve already begun the process of pulling city funds.

I appreciate the advocacy of Councilmembers Brooks and @jake_ephros on this issue.

James ran saying he'd help get units for under $1,000 in Jersey City and now he's delivering 👇👇👇

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

$774 a month for a studio.
$829 for a one-bedroom.
$995 for a two-bedroom.
$1,149 for a three-bedroom home.

This is what's possible when you use PILOTs to build for working people.

That's a wrap on Senior Festival 2026 and thanking them for making our community so great. Jersey City's seniors sure know how to party!

Jersey City has applied for THREE TIMES as much grant funding in just the first quarter of 2026 than the City did for ALL of 2025.

Why does that matter? Every dollar we receive in grant funding is a dollar we save of YOUR taxpayer money. It's just one of the ways we're working

(3/3) I was honored to offer my condolences to his family and help celebrate the life of a leader who touched so many lives. May he rest in peace.

(1/3) This weekend, we paid our respects to Pastor Thyson Halley. Thyson leaves behind an incredible legacy advocating for the Deaf community to be treated with dignity and understanding.

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

(2/3) Just a few months ago, Thyson sent me a full plan for how Jersey City can better support our Deaf residents. To honor his legacy, it is a plan we will turn into reality.

I'll be at this town hall on Monday in Jersey City alongside Senator Angela McKnight, Mayor Solomon, Assemblywoman Reynolds-Jackson, and Assemblyman Onyema to talk healthcare affordability. Our healthcare system is broken, and we need solutions at all levels of gov’t to fix it.

This is what building for working people looks like.

The grand chandelier of Loew's Jersey Theatre is being carefully restored at Grand Light in Seymour, Connecticut—experts in restoring historic light fixtures. Soon, it will be returned to Jersey City to light up the Journal Square theatre and delight audiences once again.

Happy Friday, Jersey City! I loved seeing what a great mood JC was in celebrating Eid while filming around the neighborhood on Wednesday.

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

@real_JNelson Can you DM me your address and contact info? They have a schedule for this work across JC but I’ll see where it stands and if we can help.

Developers have been paying 2001 prices in 2026 to connect to our water and sewer system. You have been subsidizing them.

That changes now — developers will pay their fair share.
