Reimagine New Jersey

Together we can build a New Jersey that works for all of us.

Dear New Jersey,

Reimagine a unified Garden State. One where we come together, regardless of zip code, or race, or gender or nationality, and reject the divisions of the present so we can realize the promise of our state.

It's time to Reimagine New Jersey!

Contribute today to help Ras build New Jersey’s future.

“We will deconstruct the state budget and reassemble with equity as our north star; judging every decision as either a step towards equity or a step towards inequity.”

Ras J Baraka, New Jersey Globe

Meet Ras Baraka

Ras J. Baraka, a Newark native, poet, and educator, is the transformative Mayor of New Jersey’s largest city. Under his leadership, Newark achieved a 60-year low in crime, replaced 23,000 lead service lines at no cost to residents, and reduced homelessness by 57%. Once facing a $90 million deficit, Newark now thrives with unprecedented economic growth.

A member of Alpha Phi Alpha, Ras is a lifelong advocate for equity and opportunity. Now running for Governor of New Jersey, his vision centers on tackling systemic challenges—affordability, housing, education, and transportation—while fostering inclusivity and prosperity for all.
