We used Covid-19 shutdown to do projects that would’ve been inconvenient for residents regularly (street paving, park renovations etc). One project was ripping up the 1960s vinyl floor at city hall. We thought we’d find garbage but instead we found the original from 100 yrs ago

Valentina - first your brother WAS an “at-will” employee for the city - as of tomorrow he no longer works there bc he doesn’t reflect the values of the city. Second, You can see how strongly I feel about the LGBTQ community and I’ll share the text messages we exchanged so ppl know ill fight for them when people are watching and the same when they can’t see what I’m doing.
🚨@StevenFulop it’s ILLEGAL to threaten your employees. Huge lawsuit incoming. God & the truth are with us.

Gov Murphy… this is out of touch. You have potential ICE Raids as the Governor of the most diverse state in the country, you have potential attacks on the LGBtQ community, you have a president that doesn’t prioritize the environment…. And you prioritize congestion pricing which is really you mostly fighting for the richest 2% of the ppl that can afford to drive their personal vehicles to NYC daily and pay $1000 per month additional to park
Today I sent a letter to President Trump urging his Administration to reexamine New York’s congestion pricing scheme. Congestion pricing is a disaster for New Jersey commuters and must receive the close look it deserves from the federal government.
Community note
Governor Murphy claims that congestion pricing “has never been well-designed or adequately studied”. This is false. The MTA conducted an extensive 4,000 page environmental study evaluating the impacts of congestion pricing. Source: new.mta.info/document/9345

This is directly related to supply increases we have created. We have been unapologetically pro growth both market and affordable units despite political pushback at times.

This was a massive missed opportunity for NJ to have been smart in how the state approached congestion pricing. If the state was strategic we would have been able to gain funding for NJT, encourage mass transit for the region + move away from a car centric culture for the environment - those were on the table. Instead most politicians took the easy political approach in just saying it is bad per their polling and by doing that was advocating for the wealthiest 2% of NJ residents. In the end the state got nothing and congestion pricing is moving forward.
“In a nutshell, denied,” U.S. Senior Judge Leo Gordon said, rejecting New Jersey’s arguments for a delay of the tolls. Read more: bit.ly/3W4kWbW

NJ may actually have an upset. This is prob great news for Jack’s team as we are a society that likes underdogs and comebacks by nature. This is prob the last public poll.

It’s actually very smart politics for @ZohranKMamdani. If he can execute on it then it shows he can deliver on complex, technical reforms - not just rhetoric. And a more rational property tax system would also create fiscal room for him to advance other priorities. It’s a good starting point on both credibility and capacity building.
I remain fascinated that Mamdani is so focused on this issue that (1) has no obvious ideological valence and (2) is a minefield

This is wrong and ICE actions should be condemned in the strongest sense. Regardless of your views on ICE, the law is the law—and any facility operating in a New Jersey municipality must follow it. If Delaney Hall doesn’t have proper local authorization, Mayor Baraka had every reason to be there, and every right to demand accountability. Instead, ICE arrested him. Whether it’s disobeying the Supreme Court, flirting with a third term, or undermining due process, we’re watching lines get crossed in real time. This is a dangerous precedent—and it demands condemnation in the strongest possible terms.
#BREAKING: ICE just arrested Newark Mayor @RasBaraka as peacefully entered the Delaney Hall Geo Group ICE prison, accompanied by hundreds of community members and a congressional delegation. Trump's ICE henchmen are coming for judges, mayors, parents. Who is next?

As a mayor of Jersey City, I don't think anyone in the state has more direct experience in the state than I do when it comes to mass transit. As Governor, I would cancel the turnpike widening project and reallocate the money to create a system that is safe, reliable and clean. Second. when they passed the funding source, they only did it for 5 years which doesn't fix the problem - this needs to be changed. And last, I would bring our bus system back in house to ensure they are running efficiently. You can read more about my policy plans on transit here: stevenfulop.com/wp-content/u…

I don’t live in NYC nor do I want to but one thing to mention is that I know the idea of public grocery stores has become easy fodder for critics, but if you move past the politics, there’s precedent. This isn’t some radical new idea in the U.S. The USDA, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has a track record of funding publicly supported grocery stores, including co-ops and nonprofit retail models. These programs continue to offer financial, technical, and planning support to help bring healthy food access to underserved communities and prices down. In Jersey City, we experimented with different approaches to food access. We were the first in NJ to pilot the “Healthy Corner Store” model. We gave it a real shot. It didn’t work as well as I had hoped, but I’m still glad we tried. One major lesson: it’s tough to incentivize store owners to change long-established economic habits, even when the public benefit is clear. Zohran Mamdani won an election that comes with a platform, and I get it criticism comes with the territory. But it’s easier to take shots than to do the homework and realize this isn’t as fringe as some might assume. The current food access system isn’t working. Exploring solutions isn’t a bad thing and shouldn’t be dismissed just because it doesn’t fit neatly into a party talking point. We’d all be better off having a real debate grounded in history rather than one shaped by knee-jerk reactions or partisan instinct.
I don’t say this lightly: Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for New York City to drive down food prices by having the city run its own grocery stores is the most economically delusional thing I’ve seen in a long time. What planet do these people live on?

I’ll be a transit focused governor - This news below is hard to accept. Why? Over the past 20 years there has been a steady decline in PATH service despite an increase in demand. Frequency of service, weekend service all have become more difficult. It’s the reason I strongly feel that NJ needs to set a plan to absorb PATH into NJT and NJT take responsibility with a funded plan for NJT by a Governor that wants to lead on this. It’s a commitment as Governor I will pursue. The Marion section stop, the single ride to Newark Airport… all should be priorities that are driven by NJ + will do that.
Don’t forget today is @PATHTrain fare hike Sunday- single rides now $3. Use a SmartLink card to get a discount

Obviously, last night didn’t turn out the way we hoped but I just wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation and gratitude. The hardest part for me is that there’s not much I’d go back and change. I felt our campaign was substantive, thoughtful, and true to the kind of change we wanted to bring to New Jersey. That’s what a campaign should be. I’m proud of the work we did and the way we did it. For now, I’m going to step back from social media and politics for a bit to recalibrate and refocus on some things I’ve put on the back burner. But before I do, I want to say - thank you.

It Will be completed by end of the summer and I’m sure eventually it will be more common.

Totally misguided headline + no leadership from Murphy - fact is 98% of NJ commuters lose here. Congestion pricing was a fee on the wealthiest 2% of commuters that could afford to drive their personal vehicles and pay $1500 per month to park. Most regular ppl use mass transit. - congestion pricing was working as commute times were down huge for NJ middle class - mass transit ridership was up in NJ/NY which is good for NJ - environmental justice is obvious The most conservative of elected officials were the fighters of this including Trump and the two congresspeople running for Governor - it’s a question of who are you fighting for?

🧵 On congestion pricing…. I’m in an entirely different place than the press releases in opposition from Trump, Sherrill, Gottheimer, and Murphy. First, This NJ Governor election is about bold leadership and solutions. The question is whether you want someone that just repeats to you what a poll tells them or whether you want someone that understands the issues and actually has core convictions. Do you want someone that is propped up by the same political bosses or someone beholden to you. That is the choice you will make. I’ve been in the same exact place since these conversations started + since I was elected against the political machine in NJ.

Not to pile on but worthwhile to contrast this with #JerseyCity just across the river and a fraction of the size of NYC - we continue to outperform relative to everywhere else in the region. In July we had - 576 new units approved, - 97 permits for building construction issued, - 468 new units issued certificate of occupancy And importantly many new businesses interested in JC that never have been here before. Let’s continue the progress!
Latest #'s are out on new residential buildings approved in NYC. For entire month of July: * Citywide: 10 (small) buildings totaling only 279 units * Manhattan: Zero buildings. Zero units. This should be considered a crisis. We have to fix this.

I’ll point out that the hypocrisy on the congestion pricing opposition from Murphy, Sherrill, and Gottheimer is that in their opposition they always reference pollution + congestion concerns yet why doesn’t the same reasoning apply to the $12 Billion tax payer funded turnpike widening that will also increase traffic and pollution. Logically if the Holland Tunnel remains 2 lanes (which it is) then the bottleneck to enter NyC is not changing despite this massive project of $12 BILLION = congestion and pollution

This proposal is absolute suicide for NYC and an Absolute dream for NJ. Speaking as both a NJ mayor and the incoming CEO of the Partnership for NYC: I can’t think of an easier narrative to torch supporters of this idea (both politically and governmentally). Even if believe companies won’t move, what remains 100% indisputable is they certainly won’t create a single new jobs in NYC. Reason is this: What people hate in politics is half truths + this graph doesn’t even reflect the entire of what is being said. Raising NY’s corporate rate to “match NJ” while ignoring NYC’s existing 8.85% additional tax (which isn’t in this graph) means NYC companies get hit with a 16%+ burden. That’s not competitiveness, that’s not “marginally” more than neighbors…. Any reasonable person can see the truth in what I’m saying.
Mayor-elect Mamdani hopes to raise the corporate tax to match New Jersey’s 11.5%. That would move NY from the 17th highest state corporate tax in the nation to tie for #1.

Re-Allocation of the $10B NJ Turnpike widening project into mass transit investment instead is the next step towards correcting our mass transit issues. Our campaign was the first to float the idea of the CBT dedication to NJT last year that will now be law and now we must continue being proactive with the next reasonable decision towards mass transit improvement. Longer term beyond those we have outlined our detailed transportation plans at stevenfulop.com - we are the only campaign putting our policy bc that is what NJ deserves

Meanwhile in NJ: ▪️ Bergen light rail — 25 years, still waiting ▪️ Glassboro–Camden line — 29 years, no train ▪️ PATH — unreliable ▪️ NJ Transit — deep funding gaps And both candidates for governor? Silent on transit, but eager to widen highways.
Governor Hochul just announced that the Interborough Express (IBX) will proceed from the design phase as a light rail project, connecting all east-west Brooklyn and Queens subway lines and moving 131,000 people daily. It will be 30 minutes faster than current transit options.👏

As the mayor of Jersey City, I know I’m in the minority on this viewpoint , but I don’t have an issue with PATH raising fares if it’s tied to better, more reliable service which seems to be the plan. Mass transit investment needs to happen I supported congestion pricing even from the New Jersey side because we need a stronger, region-wide approach to funding mass transit. The argument that congestion pricing “only benefits NYC” was always misguided. NJ residents rely on the MTA every day, just as NYC relies on NJ Transit to move its workforce. The truth is simple: our economies are intertwined. A functional transit network on both sides of the river is essential, and we’d all be better off with more cooperation instead of zero-sum thinking.
Weird. So many NJ politicians protested commuters getting squeezed by NYC congestion pricing but I haven't seen any raising concerns about the major PATH fare hike.

🧵 NIMBYism vs YIMBY + Abundance….. This is 100% true: if a mayor spends all their time “taking more meetings” to avoid hard decisions around broad zoning changes, older NIMBYs on Facebook will love you but your city will stagnate. High approval often means you didn’t push hard enough for growth and change.
This is classic Fulop Thought. The development status quo in many big cities means that the existing developers are essentially lobbyists working the highly discretionary system. Widespread upzoning/moving to by right development is pro-competitive and new developers emerge.

That’s true - the plan we are experimenting with is that If you get off the turnpike to use our streets to cut through to the Holland Tunnel we will push you down Columbus to Washington ( no left turns beforehand) and loop you behind Target to the back of the Holland Tunnel line there so basically penalizing you for trying. We will monitor how it works and we have officers in the AM.
Jersey City has started an incredible experiment to deter Turnpike traffic *and* make Columbus Dr safer for commuters & kids: No left-turns going north on Columbus between 6am-9am. It's finally *faster* to stay on the Turnpike vs cutting-through JC. Thank you Mayor @StevenFulop

We are continuing to build out the bike lane network and of course, this will also be protected - the more we can build a safe alternative to cars the more people will be encouraged to use those alternatives. The data shows a consistent increase and we want this to continue - #JerseyCity

If you care about mass transit, the environment or health issues - This is good news and when I’m Governor we will implement a regional plan to benefit the regional transportation system. Just quick recap only one of the candidates for governor had political courage/leadership to say that polling, Murphy. Sherrill and Gottheimer have been entirely wrong in how they opposed this. There are differences in the candidates for Governor of NJ

The reality is transportation in NJ is a mess - whether it is PATH, NJT or the airports. It has been an absolute failure of leadership. Not only do I have the most experience of any candidate for governor but I’ve made fixing transportation a cornerstone of my campaign w/details
I'm blinded with rage. They don't care. @GovMurphy doesn't care. @CraigGuyHC and @MikieSherrill don't care. There is a tsunami of single issue PATH voters coming in Hudson County, and we're angry.

It’s good to see a viable alternative - who knows where this goes but I will say that people underestimate Andy Kim at their own peril. Nobody expected him to win initially, nobody thought he would win re-election, he has a compelling story, and he just comes across as a good person.
After calls to resign, Senator Menendez said “I am not going anywhere.” As a result, I feel compelled to run against him. Not something I expected to do, but NJ deserves better. We cannot jeopardize the Senate or compromise our integrity. Please join me: secure.actblue.com/donate/so…

Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating. Just now: #JerseyCity Police Officer Raymond Sanchez, who was wounded when responding to the shooting at a Kosher grocery store, is given an award by the children he protected at a menorah lighting in front of Jersey City Kosher Supermarket

As mayor I'm pretty sure of the city's history w/@realDonaldTrump and museum. I'd be comfortable w/you adding "never" by 366
#380. I'm still looking for proof @realDonaldTrump gave millions of his own to charity. Dwyer HS Band doesn't have it

PATH should be taken over by NJ with a gradual phase in of a negotiated $ transfer to NJ…. The current construct of PATH is not working and there has been a steady deterioration of service since 9/11.. we need to be thinking of a regional transportation system that NJ is proud of
08:19 AM: All PATH service is operating with delays. Dispatch has reported signal problems. NJT rail is cross honoring PATH at HOB, NWK, NYPS. HBLR is cross honoring PATH at HOB, NWPT, EXPL. Next update within15 min. We apologize for the inconvenience.

From my time serving as a U.S. Marine to leading Jersey City as Mayor, my career has always been guided by a strong desire to take on difficult challenges and find solutions that help improve peoples’ lives. Now I’m running for Governor to bring those same values to Trenton.

Bill. My family is Holocaust survivors, 35 of my closest family were taken by the Nazis to Auschwitz + 7 lived. Regardless of politics, u do a disservice to fighting anti-semitism, hatred + the history of the Holocaust by so simply comparing things to Nazis. Pls think about it
So funny. @GovMurphy so triggered he replied to his own tweet. Hey @mattgaetz, thanks for showing how ludicrous Murphy's orders are...and for standing up for hard working men and women in our hospitality industry being crushed by Nazi-esque policies of mayors like @StevenFulop

This is the latest from our restoration to the original city hall that we started during the Covid-19 shutdown, I shared some of the earlier mid 1800s original tile we found hidden in hallways underneath the 1960s vinyl tile. Here’s the next section we found of historical tile

Thank u #JerseyCity. There’s no better city + I’m forever grateful for the trust you have placed in me. A 3rd term is never easy to be entrusted to lead + today we’re the 1st admin since the 1940s to achieve this in JC. I’ll continue to work hard, make you proud + move JC forward

🧵- I’m going to be the first to comment on this bc I know front office is preparing it. There is a major problem with Transit policy in NJ overall and it is unacceptable for NJTransit to push a large fare increase on regular residents within months of a massive tax break on the largest corporations (CBT). It is just wrong. Despite the rhetoric of a fairer NJ this is clearly the opposite and only undermines trust.

Reading more and more about this agreement in Israel. The hostage release and cease fire negotiated by @realDonaldTrump is a monumental accomplishment and democrats should acknowledge it without caveats. There should be no “But…” or “and…” - this step was elusive for 2 years and he deserves credit. If we can’t acknowledge that then we are blinded by partisan politics and have entirely lost perspective. Let’s hope that step 2 continues progress towards long term peace in the Middle East

I’m w/ Prosecutor @JakeHudnut + JCPD issuing tickets for price gouging. We won’t accept people taking advantage of residents. Tissues, Clorox, cleaning items, all doubling +. Rubbing alcohol went from $2.99 to $6.99. People sometimes can be terrible in how they treat eachother..

It’s a substantial cost for us but the reality is constantly replacing the flex posts isn’t reasonable $$ spend and the rate the flex posts get knocked down in some places speaks to the safety issues for users .

1/3 We’ve learned during #COVID19 many things about our work force + city. One big change going forward is that we’re giving the option to our 3000 municipal employees to go to a 4-day work week permanently instead of the antiquated 5 day work schedule. Going forward (cont)

This is the wrong answer for leadership/standard bearer of NJ dem party. If Republicans in Texas are redrawing maps we need to respond with the same force if not more. We are not in normal times
Yesterday I asked Rep. Mike Sherrill, the Democratic nominee for governor, her thoughts on whether N.J. should redraw its congressional map. She deferred to voters: “That would require a constitutional amendment, that would really be up to the people of New Jersey.”

These 2 sets of same pictures tell an an amazing story. We are proud of this one as the change is significant. There were plenty of critics/naysayers when we 1st proposed eliminating cars and turning the street into a 2+ block pedestrian plaza. Here we are.
2012 vs 2022, Newark Ave between Erie and Grove

Sharing the next step for the pedestrian plaza as we are formally expanding the sidewalks on Grove street to make it permanent instead of the planters/paint we put in place during COVID - this change along with the expansion of the green space around City Hall into a park should further expand the energy of the Newark Ave Pedestrian Plaza

We did this but prior to our admin wasn’t political will for change. Now we’re going to extend the area further w/constructing a large playground as an extension on the stretch on Barrow Street between Newark/Columbus. It will energize with children/parents. Will attract family friendly businesses. It’s the perfect size for something meaningful + we’ll start shortly w/community engagement. @SolomonforJC
Newark Street in Jersey City went car free a few years ago and I just wonder why we didn’t do it earlier…

We don’t live in a perfect world + we’re realistic about our options. We have three BAD choices 1) SLOWLY restore some normalcy to protect the long term health of the city 2) pretend ppl will stay inside indefinitely + wait for vaccine 3) rely on @realDonaldTrump for clarity
The Mayor of Jersey City knows there aren't enough tests to ensure safe lifting of lockdown measures. And he’s OK with that. He’s moving to slowly reopen the city anyway. trib.al/gB25uK4

Gov Murphy needs to fix this mess he signed. He 100% knew about this - that’s a fact + he still signed it. It’s beyond disappointing that @GovMurphy + legislators would use a pandemic as a smokescreen to privatize Liberty State Park. This is where goodwill u built is destroyed
On the Liberty State Park privatization deal in the stop-gap budget that @SenatorLorettaW decried but @GovMurphy just signed. "There was no time for public pressure," @StevenFulop says. "It was put in there at the last minute and rammed through."

We’re continuing to install more Jersey Barriers to protect our bike lanes (this is Washington St). A better/safer environment is a win for all as it will lead to more cyclists/less cars. Note: Jersey Barriers in Jersey City in New Jersey - lots of Jersey which is a good thing
Concrete protected bike lanes in Jersey City. This is outstanding.

Maybe I’m wrong but I think residents would prioritize trains that work before a train fare holiday. Probably the worst option is a train fare holiday on a dysfunctional train system…. Nevertheless, we are only the campaign for governor that has provided policy details (at all) on why I’m running. Our proposals includes a comprehensive transportation plan for year 1. You can read it at StevenFulop.com
Rail service into and out of Penn Station New York, is subject to up to 45-minute delays due to Amtrak signal issues in one of the Hudson River Tunnels.Customers should visit njtransit.com/ABC for available alternate service information.
