| Collapse all
Mentored by West, Žižek, Spivak, Cornell (Black Panther feminist), Dorrien. Led art curation, aid for 1M+ Rohingya genocide survivors (Cox’s Bazar: education/health/anti-trafficking vs. Myanmar atrocities). Endorsed by Rep. Jeff Van Drew; notes from Trump/Biden.
Passions: Axe NJ property taxes; fund schools/hospitals/responders; reboot industry/jobs; COLA for seniors/vets; Rohingya justice (1.5M victims—stateless, trafficked, starving).
Columbia (BA), Union Seminary (MA Theology), Rutgers (BA Phil/PolSci). IG @coloneltomaini (3.7K), FB (5K), grtomaini.com. Bipartisan fighter for fair NJ!- NJ’s sky-high property taxes crush families—Colonel Tomaini fights to eliminate them entirely. Phase out this burden, replace with growth-fueled revenue: factories humming, tech booming, families thriving. Keep YOUR money for dreams, not endless bills. As Asbury Park gentrification refugee now in Bridgeton, I’ve seen working folks priced out—time for real relief! Bipartisan bold: tax cuts + jobs = NJ comeback.
- No more starving our lifelines—Colonel Tomaini demands full funding for schools, hospitals, libraries, first responders. End feast-or-famine chaos: reliable resources to teach kids (like I did in Bridgeton/Millville), heal sick, protect heroes. From Asbury Park gentrification scars to Bridgeton roots, I’ve lived community struggles. Pour back into what builds us—strong institutions for ALL families. Bipartisan basics: invest in people, watch NJ soar!
- **Key Message 3: Jobs Revival Revolution** South Jersey deserves roaring factories again—Colonel Tomaini’s blueprint: **short-term incentives** lure local hires NOW; **long-term innovation** builds sustainable manufacturing/tech hubs. Cut red tape, train workers, honor our industrial soul. As gentrification refugee from Asbury to Bridgeton, I know job loss heartbreak—let's revive pride, paychecks, futures. Bipartisan boom: good jobs for every hand ready to work! NJ made, NJ strong.
• Public Funding: Fully restore schools, hospitals, first responders.
• Economic Revival: Jobs via manufacturing/tech incentives.
• COLA Restoration: Protect seniors, vets from inflation.
• Human Rights: Justice for Rohingya genocide survivors.
• Housing Equity: Fight gentrification, secure homes.
• Victim Advocacy: Rights & support for crime survivors.
• Bipartisan Bridges: Ideas that unite, results that deliver.
