Kevin Bing is a small business owner and community activist running for city council in Jersey City. Kevin is a progressive and is looking to make progress on the important issues he's advocated for including street safety, affordable housing, and quality of life improvements.
  • We need safe streets. Everyone deserves to get from point A to B safely. This includes the parent trying to navigate a stroller down city streets, a student trying to get to school by bike, or a commuter who has to drive to work.
  • Ward C is not getting the leadership that represents our progressive values. This community faces preventable issues with solutions we can take on a local level. Our leadership has been, simply put, unwilling to gamble any political risk to take action.
  • I’m not entering politics to further a political machine. As an independent voice, I will work with fellow progressives when I believe it’s the right thing to do, but that also means I’m not going to be a rubber stamp on anybody’s agenda
Street safety, affordable housing, progressive values, Democratic party reforms.
