In 2007, when all supported Hillary Clinton for President, the only congressman from New Jersey who did not turn his back to then candidate Barack Obama was Steve Rothman. Pascrell turned his back at our aspirations to become 4th Ward Councilman, and Pascrell also worked against my fellow candidates from other Wards of Paterson, and as a result our community did not get the representation we deserve in the 3rd, 1st and 4th Wards, respectively" stated former candidate for the 4th Ward Council Wilkin Santana.

Paterson and Passaic County need Steve Rothman, who is a member of the powerful Appropriations Committee in Congress and can get federal funding for our community in times when our city and county can not continue raising taxes on property owners. As a community leader, I am ready to work with my friend Steve Rothman for a better City of Paterson and Passaic County.
