The Armstead Scholarship, established in memory of my grandmother, Jimmie Lee Armstead, was proudly awarded to 11 Linden High School students this evening.

Grandma was grinning from ear to ear in Heaven

One West Rooftop is set to open this summer . This exciting addition will help attract new businesses, bring more energy to Wood Avenue, and create a vibrant downtown nightlife our residents deserve. Linden continues to grow, evolve, and move forward together. #LindenNJ #OneWest

You are never too old to learn and never too young to teach. Thanks to School No. 1’s Gardening Club, I even picked up some great gardening tips! 🌱 As long as you continue to have me, I’ll always show up for our young people and celebrate their success. Great job, School No. 1!

It felt like an earthquake and thank God No one was hurt. In Linden, we show up for one another, and that spirit of helping each other is what makes our community so special. 🌧️🌳🙏 #LindenNJ #CommunityFirst #OneLinden #MemorialDayWeekend #mayorarmstead

New Jersey Senator @SenatorAndyKim and @RepMenendez visited Delaney Hall, the ICE detention center in Newark, to investigate what detainees say are inhumane conditions.

The visit comes on the second day of mass hunger strike by detainees who say they are protesting poor conditions, lack of access to adequate medical care and insufficient food.

Surprised our Linden athletes with pizza! 🍕

A small gesture to show our young people that we see them, and support them.

Not many mayors are willing to embarrass themselves singing and dancing, but when it comes to our students, I’m all in.
My office Saturday was at Tiger Stadium supporting and entertaining our young people while helping raise funds for the LHS Class of 2026! 😂❤️

My office tonight. ❤️

One of the greatest privileges of serving as Mayor is spending time with the families and children of Linden. Moments like these remind me why we work so hard every day, to build a city where our children feel safe, supported, and proud to call home.

My office tonight. Serving as Mayor has given me the privilege of being part of so many meaningful moments in the lives of Linden residents, from baptisms and communions to Sweet 16 celebrations and weddings.

Today is a momentous day for many families of the Catholic faith as their children celebrate their First Communion. Join Mayor Armstead, Linden, in congratulating them.
