Paterson Wards WIN -Wards Igniting Neighbors

03/14/2026

Paterson, I have a question for you.

If you had the chance to sit across from the candidates running for Paterson City Council At-Large, what would you ask them?

Community partners including the League of Women Voters, Paterson Alliance, Paterson Task Force, Paterson Wards WIN, and Passaic County Habitat for Humanity are working together to organize a community candidate forum for the 16 individuals running for Council At-Large.

The people elected to serve in these roles help shape policies and decisions that impact the quality of life for families across our city. This forum is an opportunity for residents to hear directly from candidates and better understand their priorities.

Before the forum takes place, we want to hear from residents.

What issues matter most to you in Paterson?
What questions would you want candidates to answer?

Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey. Your input will help shape the questions asked during the forum.

Your voice matters.
