We will make a city hall that truly serves the people who live there.

We have to have a mayor and a council who will take City Hall and fight that fight.

I live in Newark. My family lives in Newark. I own a house in Newark.

When I was just a twenty-something, I came to Newark, and I found a connection to the city in a spiritual way. I found a connection here and people here that reminded me so much of my roots and my own family.

I think Newark has been in the crosshairs in every generation of the fight to achieve America. And I think Newark is a city that's at that crossroads still.

We know that there will never be a great Newark unless there is a great public school system for our city.
