My name is Jason Murillo also known as DJ Loudmouth heard weekly on WPAT 930 AM Radio in NYC & on National Radio & a lifelong resident of the Lower East Side/East Village & I'm Officially Running for NYC City Council in District 2 in 2025! Together we can take back our neighborhood, restore & rebuild our communities.

Jason Murillo known in the music, entertainment, television, and radio world for the past 20 years as "DJ Loudmouth" has been a vital part of his community living in the neighborhood for over 30 years since childhood in the Lower East Side/East Village, he has been working tirelessly to make it a better place for all & those who are often left behind including those living in NYCHA public housing & living on public assistance struggling to put food on their tables & those who are homeless or unemployed.

Jason is a native son of the Lower East Side/L.E.S and of his family who proudly immigrated here over a century ago in their path to live the American Dream & to Serve our great city, state & country. Jason is the current 74th AD District Leader & Acting Chairman / CEO of the Manhattan Conservative Party of New York County & NY County Committee Board Member, Member of the Manhattan Republican Party, Chair of the Manhattan Young Conservatives Club & Manhattan Community Board Member.
  • Jason is a student of the legal justice system, civil rights people's liberties & a defender of our Constitution who believes in protecting & upholding our born given right to freedom & that all men/women are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. I'm a former District Leader & Chair of my District with the Board of Elections & Community Youth Leader. I'm the Current Chairman of the Lower Manhattan Conservative Party.
  • As a person with disabilities myself & taking care of a child with special needs & caretaker of my elderly disabled mother i know better than most the need for supportive services and funding for these vital programs, medical providers, hospitals, rehab centers, doctors, nurses to support families & caretakers. I am a longtime public advocate for people with disabilities & helping them get local, state & federal assistance & supportive services.
  • Jason knows the value of being connected to his neighborhood. That's why he's running for City Council in District 2 to give back to his Community & City which he loves so much & to proudly represent & serve where he's from & to make sure all people in his district are equally represented especially those of all minorities, families, small business owners, veterans, those living in public housing, our youth & the elderly.
Protecting & safeguarding Public Housing & NYCHA fighting for resident rights to affordable housing for all especially those of low income & hard working families, the disabled, homeless & veterans.

Provide more assistance & funding for our local schools within our district so no child is left behind in the 21th century with all the tools to success into productive adults & future leaders of New York.
Being apart of the City Council is a vital part of the operating and function of New York City & it's over 8,000,000 residents. We as City Council Members play a key part of the day to day operations of the city and our vital public services in which New Yorkers depend on a daily basis.
As i mentioned earlier People like Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King to give back & serve our great people, city, state & country through public service, faith and being a decent human being god fearing public servant who puts country and god first always is something i aim to be at all times.
Ronald Reagan who without question is one of greatest american success stories & greatest leaders and thinkers of our time & my role model. I hope to become half the man that he was. My Political philosophy echos that of President Reagan that we are a government of we the people & protectors of this democracy and the constitution and we most do everything in our power to protect it at all cost.
Leadership is a quality I have consistently demonstrated, often being entrusted to guide others in completing important missions. My approach ensures that those around me also thrive. My ultimate objective is to improve my beloved community & district of the Lower East Side, East Village, Alphabet City and of Lower Manhattan. I have accomplished so much with limited funds, staff, and resources. If provided with the necessary support, I believe the work I am doing can be replicated on a larger scale and amplified across more regions.
For over 20+ years I have worked helping to advocate and make changes in policies for low income, unemployed, homeless, disabled, youth, elderly, housing, domestic violence awareness & support, civil rights, community media, freedom of speech and community resources. There have been much more I have worked on but these I consider my expertise are in. My political outlooks focus more on fiscal transparency, unify the community and civic engagement. I have been able to work on all these because I listen to the people and take action instead of talking about making changes. There is twenty plus years worth of tangible proof of my work all you gotta do is see for yourself through the eyes of all the people who i helped or gave them the power of self empowerment & restored their faith to make them better human beings and overcome anything that was meant to destroy them.
To be held accountable by the public & to be a servant to the public, remember that we as elected officials work for the people and not the people work for us.

Someone who shows up not just when things are good & going well but also in times for crisis and in need is what matters the most to me as an elected official.
I would love to leave a legacy of someone who made a difference in my city, state & country even if i have to sacrifice my life to save others.

I want to be known for being a champion & hero of the people and a voice of the voiceless who are often left behind by a broken system and government who has failed to protect us.
I remember 9/11 the attacks against our city and country that day as i was 20 years ago just out of high school and working, producing community media for Manhattan Neighborhood Network cable access station.

I seen and experience first hand the Devastation of that day of the twin towers being attacked and coming down in which we all lost loved ones, friends, family our brave first responders that lost there lives trying to save others through the aftermath i seen the best of New Yorkers regardless of beliefs, race, gender being together, as i was their to help families & survivors in the aftermath in the weeks and months ahead supporting one another as human beings we need more of that now more than ever and i hope running for office to bring more unity and togetherness within our community and city.
As a teenager i started being a community media producer & content creator that started on local cable access television in Manhattan & Brooklyn at 20 years old i became a certified television producer i have since over the next two decades been on & produce Award-Winning Television & Radio Programming throughout National & Worldwide platforms heard & seen by millions of people.

I am the owner & operator of independently run television & radio programming, platforms, stations that is a open platform free from MSM control or government oversight to give everyone a free platform to express their right to free speech regardless of their political views, race, gender.
Martin Luther King Where we go from here is a inspiring message of hope and faith in our fellow man to be greater than we ever thought we can be and to never give up fighting for the rights of all people including us minorities & those of color we all owe it to Dr. King to keep fighting for those rights & protect something that is our god given right.
He-man, The Dark Knight Batman or Harvey Dent to be a protector and champion of the people just like in the comics.
Lee Greenwood - God Bless The U.S.A. is a great song i been hearing lately is reminds me of a time when this country was good and we were led by faith and appreciation to all those who made this country great through their sacrifice and hard work made America what it is and can be again.
Self doubt is something i struggle with since childhood not believing i'm good enough or i done enough to help myself or others but all i gotta do at those times of reflection is look back at all the people i came across over the decades, look at the old photos, videos, stories, letters, memories and i am reminded that the devil is a liar and i am here as a angel & protector of god through christ and i'm here to do gods work and help others.
Yes in a way we are just like Congress being City Council members as having broad elected & legislative powers it is the upmost importance that we don't abuse those powers and only use it for the betterment of our residents and citizens.
Yes & no, in one hand experience is a big plus which gives incoming elected officials ahead start but at the same time sometimes we need people to hold office that are not career politicians or had previous experience. We need more new & fresh ideas and balance of conservative ideas to bring common sense policies instead of more of the same socialist anti business tax & spend democrats who have done much damage to our neighborhoods, communities, districts and city.
To be a people person, in which i mean be relatable to the needs of all New Yorkers not just the well off & the rich but to the rest of us.

To serve the public at all times that without them we hold no power or serve no purpose.

We need to be more efficient and more effective as elected officials and work with others & together to achieve goals and pass legislation without all the bureaucracy we face on a daily basis.
In the words of the late great President Reagan "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience," Ronald Reagan
My dear friends Patrick McManus, Chairman of the Bronx County Conservative Party, The Hon Gonzalo Duran Frm Sgt US Marines & Current Vice Chairman Bronx Conservative Party & District Leader, Veronica Gonzalez US Presidental Lifetime Service Award Recipient & Vice Chairwoman of Conservative Party of NY County, DJ Drewski of Hot 97, Lazaris Top Don Hiphop Star & Community Activist, Edwin Dela Cruz Vice President Manhattan Republican Party & Director of Conservative Party of NY County, Manhattan Neighborhood Network, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Health Workers at Ryan Nena Community Health, Isaiah Vega 54th AD District Leader, Bronx Conservative Party, Brooklyn Conservative Party, Riis Houses Tenant Asso, Lillian Ward Tenants.
I'm not a fan of big government and overspending, raising taxes and unnecessary and excessive taxes that hurts hard working New Yorkers & small businesses, families who are already struggling to survive in these hard times.

I am for smaller effective government & fiscal responsibility that a dollar save is a dollar earn, and that we don't give hand outs but a hand up to our residents, small & big business owners and those who live on public assistance.
