JOHN CIMINO

“In an era of national uncertainty, strong local leadership is our greatest defense—an uncompromising firewall protecting the people and values we hold dear.”

Mercer County is at a critical crossroads. It has always been a place where we look out for one another. But today, the challenges we face aren’t just local—they are coming directly from Donald Trump and Washington.

As we approach the June 2nd Democratic Primary, the role of a County Commissioner has never been more vital: we are the last line of defense against an administration that has turned its back on New Jersey families.  The choice is about more than just rhetoric—it’s about who has the proven experience to manage a $430 million budget, protect our taxpayers, and ensure our county services remain a model for the state of New Jersey. Who has the experience to tackle the tough issues like:

1. Economic stability and community investment.
2. Health care, public health, and social support.
3. Infrastastructure, transportation, and climate‑aligned planning.
4. Government transparency, elections, and public trust.
5. Immigration, inclusion, and community safety.

In this climate, experience isn’t just a luxury; it is a necessity. We need steady, proven leadership to navigate these federal headwinds and protect the progress we’ve made. I am proud to stand with Lucylle Walter as we work to keep Mercer County a beacon of stability, inclusion, and Democratic strength. I ask for your vote on June 2nd.
