Government must delivers results for the people it serves. We’ve expanded Jersey City’s ARRIVE Together program from two to four days, increasing access to services for residents experiencing a crisis. Thank you to the dedicated men and women working to keep Jersey City safe.

As a Councilman, I passed Right to Counsel legislation in Jersey City to ensure tenants have access to legal representation and a fair chance to remain in their homes. I’m proud of this legislation and our partners who work to protect tenants and keep residents in their homes.

Today we broke ground on Canal crossing bringing over 100 deeply affordable units to the South Side some with rents less than $1,000 a month. Development must serve ALL our residents, strengthen our neighborhoods and keep Jersey City residents in the city they call home.

In Jersey City, @SolomonforJC was tying corruption to affordability early in 2025 for mayor’s race.

Today, we honored a legendary figure in the history of Jersey City. To many in Jersey City, Senator Sandra Bolden Cunningham changed your life. A trailblazer from the start, she delivered and fought for the people. May she rest in peace.

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

I am committed to making our streets safe for pedestrians. Today I’m announcing the next phase of our efforts: we’ve identified 17 of our most dangerous intersections for “turn hardening” safety improvements.

I was honored to join the Indian community celebrate Navaratri. The annual Hindu festival that honors Shakti, the divine feminine power in Hinduism, filled India Square, where dancing continued until the early hours of the morning.

Last week, we opened the new and improved Monticello Storms Park. These improvements-basketball courts, workout equipment, trees, and more- increase the quality of life on Monticello. I am proud to deliver this space for our community AND have our kids show me up on the court.

This week, I joined our community to celebrate the grand opening of the new ShopRite in downtown Jersey City. Residents were clear with me when I was a councilman: ShopRite needed to stay here. I listened and am proud to have delivered Check out the new store at 6th and Marin!

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

She did, and we are a grateful to have it back open. Big or small, we’re here to solve problems.

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

Jersey City, I heard your concerns about the five-year closure of the Broadway Exit and took action. On my first call with NJ Transportation Commissioner Jain, I asked her to partner with us to reopen it to reduce traffic impacts on neighborhood streets.

The City of Jersey City joins family, friends, and residents in honoring the life and legacy of Senator Sandra Cunningham. We invite all who wish to pay their respects and celebrate her extraordinary life to join us in honoring her memory.

When corporations pay their fair share, we can put more money into our classrooms while reducing the burden on Jersey City homeowners and renters.

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

Since January, Mayor James Solomon has cracked down on corporations that weren’t paying their fair share of Jersey City’s payroll tax.

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

For the first time since the payroll tax took effect, Jersey City has reached an agreement with the State that will give us the employer data needed to audit filings — helping us identify corporations that aren’t paying or are underpaying what they owe.

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

The results:
📷over $75m collected for Jersey City Public Schools
📷 2,251 corporations newly registered this year including hundreds of construction contractors — many based outside the city.

And we’re not stopping there.

October marks Domestic Violence Awareness month. Mayor Solomon strengthened the city’s response to domestic violence by creating a dedicated domestic violence unit within JCPD. This unit takes a victim centered approach to protect survivors and expand access to resources.
