One of the landmarks of our town -- probably the heartbeat of our town itself -- is Bergen Line Avenue. It’s a commercial district in our area. Bergenline Avenue also crosses into West New York, Guttenberg, and Union City. Union City is already in a different district. You shouldn’t let West New York be within a separate one as well. Many of our bigger parks and resources are in uptown. The big county park is on the other side of the town. It’s not the largest town, but we're bisected by the road that leads right into the Lincoln Tunnel, so it's difficult to go to the other side of town. As a result, kids in my neighborhood go play sports in Secaucus, which is easy to access
I’m a resident of North Bergen in Legislative District 32. LD 32 is over 75 percent people of color; it’s a majority Latino district, and one of only two in the state. The Asian population is also significant. This district, my district, has also seen significant growth in the past decade.
In order to maintain “one person one vote” standards, we will need to shrink [the district] to comply with the State Constitution -- that means we’re going to have to lose a town or two. That’s fair. But it matters what towns we lose and how we change this district.One other town in this district is Guttenberg. We share a school district, kids in Guttenberg go to North Bergen High School. Consequently, it wouldn’t make sense to have them not be in the same Legislative district as we are.
