Endorsement from SOMA Action

I am honored to announce that my campaign for Essex County Commissioner, District 3 has officially received the endorsement of SOMA Action.

SOMA Action is a respected grassroots organization known for advocating for progressive values, civic engagement, and community-driven leadership throughout South Orange and Maplewood. To receive the support of an organization so deeply committed to empowering residents and strengthening local democracy is truly meaningful.

In announcing their endorsements, SOMA Action recognized the importance of electing leaders who are prepared to advocate for their communities and help Essex County thrive. The organization described me as a “phenomenal woman” who deserves the support of voters across the county.

I am especially grateful for the confidence SOMA Action members placed in this campaign during their democratic endorsement process. According to the organization, I received 78% support from participating voting members — a reflection of the growing momentum behind our campaign and our vision for Essex County.

This endorsement represents more than support for one campaign; it represents a shared belief in:

  • Transparent and accountable government

  • Strong community representation

  • Equity and opportunity for all residents

  • Civic engagement and grassroots leadership

  • Building a stronger and more inclusive Essex County

Throughout this campaign, I have remained committed to listening to residents, advocating for our communities, and ensuring that county government works for everyone — not just a select few. I believe Essex County deserves leadership that is accessible, collaborative, and focused on delivering real results for working families, young people, seniors, and historically underserved communities.

I want to sincerely thank SOMA Action, its leadership, and its members for their endorsement and trust in our campaign.

With early voting underway and Election Day approaching, I remain energized by the growing coalition of residents and organizations joining this movement.

Together, we are building a more responsive, equitable, and community-centered Essex County.
