individual agenda

Quoted directly from communication with candidate Gomez:

The current administration has done an amazing job of renewing a sense of pride. I look to help continue the pride in the city and keep the streets safe. With the City creating Growth and New developments I hope to bring information and financial literacy to the small companies that are occupying store fronts in the City Vineland. I would like to help the current administration make informed and fiscal responsible decisions to help the city maintain the lowest cost of living in NJ.


Comparison to Other Candidates

Quoted directly from communication with candidate Gomez:

The difference between myself and other City Council candidates is the fact that I have lived in the city my whole life through many circumstances. From living in poverty to now being an established entrepreneur. I know the cries of those that are less fortunate and I know the process that is essential in reaching purpose. I know how important information is and I will be able to carry their cries to the Council table and bring back necessary information. My spiritual convictions will also assure that we make conscious decisions.
