Press Release
PERTH AMBOY, NJ – (Immediate Release) – Mayoral candidate Helmin J. Caba and his “2020 Vision” Team pledge to run a clean, positive campaign that gives voters “real solutions” to the city’s most challenging issues.
Caba and his City Council running mates, Rose Brion Morales and Bienvenido “BJ” Torres Jr., say: “People who live, work and own businesses in Perth Amboy deserve real solutions to actual issues that our city faces. We are the only candidates offering sensible answers and innovative ideas.”
Priorities for Caba’s “2020 Vision” Team are to: Keep city taxes stable and affordable; enhance quality of life; improve public safety; upgrade the city’s aging infrastructure; and end City Hall’s record of instability and turbulence.
“Unqualified opponents are trying to frighten voters with ‘fake news’ about water contamination and trying to smear our dedicated police officers. Amateur scare-tactics are shameful,” said Councilman Caba, also the city’s Democratic chairman.
“I am confident voters clearly see that Rose, B.J. and I are the only candidates on the Nov. 3rd ballot offering truthful, positive and sensible solutions that will make Perth Amboy a better, stronger and safer community,” Caba said.
