Joel's Campaign Priorities

Building a stronger Trenton requires shared vision. I’m committed to bringing people together to enhance public safety, drive economic growth that protects affordability, and strengthen our water infrastructure to secure the future of Trenton Water Works. Below is my roadmap for the work ahead.

  • Enhancing Public Safety

  • Economic Development

  • Government Services

  • Trenton Water Works

  • Municipal Term Limits

Enhancing Public Safety

My approach to public safety balances effective enforcement with proactive community investment. By supporting community policing initiatives and expanding programs for our youth, we can address the root causes of crime while ensuring our first responders have the resources they need to keep Trenton safe, block by block.

Economic Development

My plan focuses on attracting sustainable investment and supporting our local entrepreneurs to create high-quality jobs right here in our city. I am committed to driving revitalization that boosts our local economy while protecting housing affordability, ensuring that as Trenton grows, our long-time residents are not left behind.

Government Services

From reliable trash collection to fixing our streetlights and potholes, I will prioritize the basic services that impact your daily quality of life. As your Councilman, I will serve as your watchdog in City Hall—using budget oversight to ensure your tax dollars are spent effectively and holding city departments accountable for the results they deliver.

Trenton Water Works

Protecting and modernizing Trenton Water Works is vital to our city's long-term health and independence. I will advocate for the critical infrastructure investments needed to secure our water system, ensuring clean, safe, and affordable water for every household. We must act now to strengthen this essential public asset and protect it for future generations of Trentonians.

Municipal Term Limits

I will champion 12-year term limits for Mayor and Council to ensure City Hall stays focused on you, not careers.
