John,

We did it.

In Jersey City’s high-stakes mayoral and city council runoffs, we didn’t just scrape by — we swept the entire council. And for the first time ever, the Jersey City Council will have a Working Families Party majority.

With WFP support, James Solomon won the runoff for Mayor of Jersey City and he’ll be joined by WFP champions Denise Ridley, Tom Zuppa, Joel Brooks, Jake Ephros, Eleana Little, and Frank Gilmore on Jersey City’s city council.

This comes just weeks after another huge victory for our movement: Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York City. Together, these victories send a clear message: our movement is not isolated. It’s building. It’s spreading. And it’s winning.

If you want to turn Tuesday night’s momentum into more wins across the country, chip in now to fund a working families future.

These results matter far beyond one city. From Queens to Jersey City, working people are choosing courageous leaders over corporate politicians. We’re proving that when we organize, talk to our neighbors, and refuse to settle for “business as usual,” we can change what’s possible in our cities — and in our politics.

What Tuesday night shows:

• A progressive governing majority is not a dream — it’s achievable. With these victories, we’re closer than ever to a City Council aligned with the needs of everyday people.

• Running boldly works. We didn’t trim our sails. We talked about housing, public safety, immigrant justice, worker power — and voters responded.

• Organizing beats big money. The political establishment tried to hold onto power. People organized harder. And won.

The WFP sweep in Jersey City and Zohran’s victory aren’t the end of the story — they’re the beginning of a new chapter. Now, let’s write the rest of it together.

We’re heading into 2026 — a defining election year for multiracial democracy in this country. The far right is organizing everywhere. So are we. And now, we’ve got yet another victory under our belt to carry into the fights ahead.

If you’re proud of what we built in Jersey City — and ready for more wins like this — chip in whatever you can to fuel the work ahead.
