I am Jean Henry Anglade, a concerned and anointed leader dedicated to fighting for the voice of everyday New Yorkers. My mission is to ensure that every resident regardless of background, income, or status is treated fairly and given a real opportunity to thrive in our city. I am running for mayor because I believe in bold leadership that puts people first, challenges unjust policies, and prioritizes solutions that directly benefit our communities. From lowering the cost of living to improving public safety and infrastructure, my focus is on making life easier and more prosperous for all New Yorkers.
Every decision benefits you – I am committed to ensuring that every policy I push for directly improves the lives of New Yorkers. From lowering the cost of living to investing in better wages, housing, and public services, my leadership will always put the people first.
Fairness, Accountability, and Justice for All – I am fighting for a fairer New York where workers, small business owners, and everyday residents are treated with dignity. I will push for better contracts for teachers and workers, hold the NYPD accountable, and ensure transparency in government.
A Stronger, Safer, and More Affordable NYC – I will tackle homelessness, improve mental health services, fix the city’s infrastructure, and address the rat problem while keeping NYC safe through community-driven policing and investments in job creation.
I am passionate about policies that lower the cost of living, create better job opportunities, and ensure fairness in law enforcement. My priorities include improving workers’ rights, education, police accountability, small business funding, and affordable housing. I will also focus on auto insurance reform, gas price reduction, boosting the minimum wage, cutting mortgage, city, and state taxes, funding Catholic schools and churches, increasing school funding, and lowering food costs. Additionally, I will work on mental health services, homelessness solutions, and infrastructure improvements to make NYC a cleaner, safer, and more livable city for all.
I look up to God as the ultimate example of love, justice, and compassion. God’s guidance shapes the way I approach leadership, reminding me to always act with fairness, empathy, and a deep respect for others. In following God’s example, I strive to lead with humility, integrity, and a commitment to serving others. I believe that by staying grounded in these principles, I can make the best decisions for every New Yorker, no matter their background or circumstances.
I would recommend “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander, which exposes systemic injustices and the need for legal and policy reforms. Additionally, “The Power Broker” by Robert Caro highlights how political leadership shapes New York City, and why it’s crucial for a mayor to fight for the people, not the political elite.
An elected official must be honest, accountable, and committed to serving the people. They should have the courage to challenge unjust policies, the integrity to put residents before politics, and the determination to fight for fair wages, lower costs, and better public services. Leadership requires listening to the people, being transparent in decision-making, and taking real action to improve lives.
I believe that my emotional intelligence, love, compassion, and mercy are core qualities that will make me a successful officeholder. I am deeply attuned to the needs of others, and I make it a priority to listen, understand, and act in ways that genuinely benefit the people. As a critical thinker and decisive leader, I approach challenges with thoughtful analysis and clarity, ensuring that every decision I make is in the best interest of the people I serve. These qualities will help me create a fair, just, and compassionate city where every New Yorker can thrive.
I want to leave a legacy of someone who treated others with respect, made everyone feel welcome, and fought tirelessly for their voices to be heard and treated with fairness. I aspire to be remembered as a successful, anointed leader who always put people first, advocating for the marginalized and striving to make life better for every New Yorker. My legacy will be one of compassion, justice, and unwavering commitment to serving others.
The first historical events I clearly remember were my communion in 2nd grade, my confirmation in 8th grade, and my graduation from middle school in 8th grade. These milestones were significant for me, not just because of their personal importance, but because they marked a time of growth, change, and spiritual and academic development. In addition, I am currently experiencing another important milestone as I pursue my degree at WGU. (Western Governors University) This educational journey continues to shape my belief in the importance of education, community, and personal growth, which all influence my approach to leadership and service.
My very first job was as a caregiver, where I worked for one year. This experience taught me valuable lessons in compassion, patience, and responsibility. I learned how to care for others with empathy and understanding, which has greatly shaped my approach to leadership and serving the community. It was a role that deepened my sense of duty and care for those who are vulnerable and in need of support.
My favorite book is ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho. It’s a beautiful story about following your dreams, listening to your heart, and understanding that the journey itself is just as important as the destination. It taught me the value of perseverance and staying true to my purpose, which deeply resonates with my values as a leader.
If I could be any fictional character, I would choose Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. He stands up for what’s right, even when it’s difficult, and always fights for justice. His integrity and courage are qualities I strive to embody in my own life.
The last song that got stuck in my head was ‘Eye of the Tiger’ by Survivor. It’s a motivating and empowering anthem that reminds me to keep pushing forward, no matter the challenges I face. It’s the kind of energy I need when working toward my goals.
One of the struggles I’ve encountered has been witnessing and experiencing the damaging effects of police racial profiling, harassment, and intimidation tactics, such as unjustly issuing tickets that lead to license suspensions and false arrests. These actions, along with the high cost of living, unjust policies, excessive fees, and manipulation, have disproportionately impacted marginalized communities. I’ve seen how these systemic issues harm everyday people, making it harder for them to thrive. These struggles fuel my passion to advocate for justice, fairness, and equity, and I am committed to addressing these injustices to ensure every New Yorker is treated with dignity and respect.
Being a mayor means being the voice of the people—fighting for fairness, standing up against corruption, and making life easier for every resident. A mayor should not just sit in an office; they must be in the streets, listening to the community, and solving real problems like housing costs, wages, and public safety. True leadership means putting New Yorkers first, always.
If the mayor is a member of the city council with a city manager overseeing the day-to-day operations, the mayor’s top priority should be ensuring strong communication and collaboration between the city council, the city manager, and residents. The mayor must lead the charge in setting the city’s overall vision and policy priorities, while ensuring the city manager’s administration stays aligned with the needs and expectations of the public. The mayor should also prioritize addressing the concerns of all communities, focusing on affordable housing, public safety, and creating jobs.
If the mayor oversees the city’s daily operations, the ideal relationship between the mayor and city council should be one of mutual respect and collaboration. The mayor should work closely with the council to ensure legislation is passed that benefits every community—from lowering costs of living to improving safety and job opportunities. The mayor should also respect the council’s role in representing their districts while guiding the city towards common goals. A strong partnership between the mayor and council is critical to ensuring government accountability and responsiveness to the needs of the people.
I love the resilience, diversity, Love compassion , mercy and ambition of New Yorkers. This city is built on hard work and determination, and every community has a story of perseverance. New York must be a place where everyone—regardless of income—can thrive.
The ideal relationship between the city and the state government should be one of collaboration, mutual respect, and shared objectives. The state provides valuable resources, funding, and policy frameworks that help support the city’s development, but it is essential that New York City retains the authority to make decisions that best reflect its residents’ needs. The state should actively support the city’s priorities, such as investing in affordable housing, improving public transportation, enhancing educational opportunities, and addressing homelessness. At the same time, the city government should work closely with the state legislature to advocate for policies that will benefit its diverse population, particularly when it comes to securing funding for mental health services, job creation, and small business development. Additionally, the state should provide flexibility and autonomy for the city to address local issues while ensuring that state and city policies align on key issues like public safety, climate change, and economic stability. The relationship must be rooted in effective communication, with both levels of government working together to provide a higher quality of life for all New Yorkers, especially low-income and vulnerable communities.
The ideal relationship between the city and the federal government should be one of support and partnership. The federal government plays a critical role in providing resources that can help New York City tackle its most pressing challenges, such as affordable housing, healthcare, job creation, and climate change. However, it is important that the city maintains its autonomy in determining the best solutions for its residents. The federal government should respect the unique needs of the city, especially in areas like public transportation, education, and public safety. The mayor must serve as a strong advocate for the city, ensuring that federal resources are allocated to areas that benefit all New Yorkers, especially the low-income and no-income populations. The city should also work with the federal government to secure grants and funding for public health programs, infrastructure improvements, and support for small businesses. A robust collaboration between the city and federal government will ensure that New York City receives the necessary support to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous future for everyone.
Government must be fully transparent in how it spends taxpayer dollars.
I support -
Publicly accessible spending reports so residents know where their tax dollars go
Stronger oversight of city contracts to prevent corruption
Independent audits and investigations to ensure city funds are used responsibly
New Yorkers deserve a government that works for all people, not just political insiders or the wealthy.
