District 4 ResidentThis is home. This office represents his neighbors.

Aaron Weiner is not a career politician. He is a data analyst who has spent years translating complex information into action — and a licensed physical therapist who has spent a decade providing in-home care — including work with the Veterans Administration — helping people recover, navigate broken systems, and put their lives back together.

He’s been getting more involved in his community. Talking to neighbors. Connecting with families. And a pattern keeps coming up: District 4 residents feel like their county government isn’t paying attention. For six years, the incumbent commissioner has delivered zero resolutions benefitting District 4.

Aaron has been showing up. Speaking out. And now he’s ready to serve District 4 — not as a favor to a machine, but as a neighbor who knows these streets, these families, and what this district actually needs.

What a Commissioner Can Do

The Real Levers of the Office

→
County Budget Votes — $700M+. Approve, amend, push back on every department.
→
Open Space Trust Fund — Vote on which parks get funded. D4 has waited long enough.
→
Public Safety Oversight — Drive transparency and community engagement on county public safety.
→
Contract Votes — Jail, transit, health services — every county contract.
→
Trustee Appointments — HCCC and HCST board confirmations. Education equity starts here.
→
Constituent Navigation — Showing up. Getting people what they need.

Pillar One

Accountable Government

Six years of a commissioner who doesn’t show up in public ends here. Aaron will make accountability the defining feature of this office.

🏛
Townhalls & Office Hours Regular, public access to the commissioner. Constituent-first office culture — not appointment-only politics.
🔒
Public Safety Transparency Regular public meetings on county public safety — open to all D4 residents. Nothing like this exists at the county level today.
📊
Audits & Budget Transparency County budget spend and school budgets publicly audited and reported. Residents deserve to know where every dollar goes.

Pillar Two

Quality of Life

A community worth staying in. Healthcare access, green space to gather, and streets you’re proud of. The basics District 4 deserves.

🏥
Healthcare Access The closure of Christ Hospital has left a critical gap in medical care across our community. No one should have to leave their neighborhood to get healthy. Aaron’s decade as a physical therapist providing in-home care makes this personal.
🧹
Clean Streets & Sanitation Irregular and incomplete trash pickup is a daily quality of life issue. Aaron will leverage the Hudson County Improvement Authority (HCIA), the Hudson County Economic Development Corporation, and other available resources to fund additional garbage pails, replacements, and supplemental pickup where needed.
🌳
Parks & Green Spaces Reservoir 3, Harsimus Embankment, Terrace Avenue Park, and Jersey City’s other underserved green spaces deserve county investment. Open Space Trust Fund dollars must finally reach District 4.

Pillar Three

Keeping Jersey City Affordable

Working families are being squeezed on every front. Education, transportation, and childcare are places where county government can and must act.

🎓
Education Free HCCC tuition for all county residents. HCST admissions equity and transparency — including IEP access data and the $600 enrollment fee.
🚌
Transportation Free county-wide rapid transit for all residents. Working families shouldn’t choose between a bus and a bill.
👲
Childcare & Summer Programming County-subsidized childcare and summer camp programming so families can work and kids can thrive — not just survive the summer.

Jersey City Green Spaces — No County Investment

Bergen Arches, Reservoir 3, and D4’s other green space projects have received no county Open Space Trust Fund commitment. The bulk of funding for these projects has come from state and NJ Transit sources — not from the commissioner representing the district where they sit.

No County Action · 2021–Present

No Public Safety Transparency

Jersey City’s police department holds regular public district meetings — East, West, South, North — where crime stats and community issues are discussed openly. No equivalent exists at the county level. The incumbent has not championed one.

No Action

Healthcare Access Gap — No County Response

The closure of Christ Hospital has left the Heights with almost no accessible medical facilities. The county has tools to address healthcare gaps. The incumbent has not used them. Aaron has lived this issue as a physical therapist who has spent a decade providing in-home care across the region.

No Response

Sanitation — No Accountability

Irregular and incomplete trash pickup is a documented, ongoing complaint across D4. No county-level accountability initiative has been championed to hold city and county services to a standard residents deserve.

No Action

Childcare, Transit & Education — No Commissioner-Level Initiatives

No county-level childcare expansion. No free or reduced-fare transit initiative. No HCCC tuition relief push. No HCST admissions equity work. Every one of these is within commissioner authority. None has moved.

No Action On Any

Mamta Singh lost the 2023 D4 race by 146 votes. David Guirgis had a full progressive coalition — NJ WFP, North NJ DSA, Run for Something — before he stepped aside. That coalition now has nowhere to go in D4. This campaign is that home.
