Election 2011: Hear from All Newark Candidates
Statements from each candidate running for office in Newark's 2011 Municipal Election.
Mayoral Candidate -
Ray J. Rodriguez, School Boardmember/Businessman
I moved to Newark in 1973 and my wife and I have continued to raise our seven children due
to its small town feel. I have served the Newark community as a School Board Member,
Volunteer, Deacon, Parent and Grandparent. My qualifications over the past 25 years include
standing as School Board President, ROP Board President, being a LOVE Newark Board member
and a member of various city committees. These experiences have given me the tools necessary to lead Newark in the 21st century as Mayor.
Newark faces challenges in its immediate future, such as resolving crime, break-ins and street violence,
and finding revenues while continuing to serve seniors, youth and a diverse population. I am ready to
face these challenges head on.
As Mayor, I will develop a Citizen’s Committee on public safety to discover ways to improve the quality
of life for all who make Newark their home. It is very important to support programs such as community policing, D.A.R.E., and neighborhood watch to make our city safer. I will establish a youth advisory committee in order to understand the concerns of Newark’s youth.
Vote for Ray J. Rodriguez for Mayor.
“Together we can make it better.”
