Linden residents deserve transparent government, clear explanations of public decisions, and meaningful opportunities to hold elected officials accountable.

As a Linden resident, I have lost confidence in Mayor Derek Armstead’s leadership. I want clearer explanations of how the city spends funds, how it makes hiring decisions, and how the administration evaluates partnerships and development proposals. These are standards I believe every administration should meet.

I ask Senator Cory Booker to publicly clarify his position on Mayor Armstead and withdraw any endorsement or political support he has given him. In my view, Linden needs a different direction, and Senator Booker’s leadership could help advance that change.

This petition calls for greater transparency, more responsive leadership, and accountability to residents. Public officials should earn our confidence through their decisions and their willingness to answer questions.

If you share these priorities, please sign this petition asking Senator Booker to support a new direction for Linden.
