Nandwani serves as Hudson County Democratic Committeewoman.
Jersey City Committeewoman Rekha Nandwani kicked off her campaign for Jersey City Council for Ward C last week with a fundraiser at Curry On in Jersey City.
“I am humbled by the level of support I have received so far in my campaign to be the next Councilwoman for Jersey City’s Ward C,” said Rekha Nandwani, an Indian American, in a statement. “I am encouraged by the constituents I hear from throughout the ward that tell me they need a leader that will represent their interests in the community and that is exactly what I intend to do.”
The fundraiser drew a large crowd, including Jersey City Council President Rolando Lavarro, Hoboken Council President Ravi Bhalla, Woodbridge Councilman Viru Patel and former Mayor of Edison Jun Choi, last Thursday, according to a press release.
“Rehka is a friend, and an advocate on neighborhood issues and for Asian Americans,” said Council President Lavarro. “She gets the community’s concerns and is a tireless worker. I have no doubt she possesses the skills, determination, and community support that make for a formidable Council candidate.”
In addition to serving as a Hudson County Democratic Committeewoman for Jersey City’s Ward C-1, Rekha is also the president of her neighborhood association and a Steering Committee Member within the New Jersey Democratic State Committee’s South Asian American Caucus.
“As a colleague of Rekha within the Hudson County Democratic Organization and Committeeman for Ward C-1, I have full faith in her ability to be responsive to her community and constituency,” said Ward C-1 Committeeman John Lynch. “This is the kind of attention, dedication and drive we need in our councilperson for Ward C.”
