FOR STRONGER SCHOOLS

Who We Are
Running together under the unifying slogan “For Stronger Schools”, this parent-led campaign will continue the momentum of representing a new chapter for Jersey City Schools in educational advocacy–one where the voices of families, students & community take center stage. A new chapter where sensible & responsible decision-making re-centers the boards focus on what truly matters: OUR STUDENTS.
The three candidates bring a combined 40 years of active community and school involvement. Lorenzo Richardson is former Board President, Trustee and Master School Board Member, Aimee Sharrock former President and current Neurodiversity Chair of P.S.37 PTA, and Brendan Doohan is the current Treasurer of the P.S. 28 PTA and President of the Riverview Neighborhood Association.
