Rebecca Escobar

Council

New Brunswick

How would you describe your candidacy and vision for the future?

I am running to continue building a New Brunswick where every resident and every neighborhood has the opportunity to benefit from our city’s progress. We have seen tremendous growth and investment in New Brunswick, but our work must remain focused on what that progress means for the people who call our city home. My vision is to keep New Brunswick moving forward by maintaining affordable property taxes, expanding housing opportunities, strengthening public safety, investing in our parks and neighborhoods, and continuing the critical improvements to our water and stormwater infrastructure. I also want to ensure that our partnerships with our schools, healthcare institutions, Rutgers University, Middlesex County, and the private sector continue creating opportunities for New Brunswick families. Most importantly, I believe our city’s future should be one where growth and opportunity go hand in hand—and where residents can afford to live, work, raise a family, and build their future right here in New Brunswick.

What do you want people to know about you?

I’m committed to building a strong, inclusive community where everyone has a voice and an opportunity to participate. I believe in the power of people and in working together, in partnership, to find solutions, strengthen our community, and ensure that every member feels heard, valued, and represented.
