PLATFORM

I’m running for Congress to bring practical, people-first leadership to Washington—focused on affordability, public safety, healthcare access, and economic opportunity for every community in New Jersey’s 12th District. As Mayor, I’ve delivered real results by listening, building partnerships, and putting people over politics, and I’m ready to do the same in Congress.
LIST OF ISSUES
 Housing & Community Development
Housing as an economic and social foundation.​
​

Housing is the foundation of strong families and thriving communities. In New Jersey’s 12th District, too many families are being priced out of the neighborhoods they helped build.

​

As mayor, Adrian Mapp has worked to expand affordable housing, stabilize neighborhoods, and revitalize long-disinvested communities. In Congress, he will fight for housing policies that keep families rooted and communities strong.

​

  • Affordable housing expansion

  • Revitalization of disinvested communities

  • Federal-local partnerships to address housing shortages

  • Infrastructure improvements tied to neighborhood stability​​

Economic Opportunity & 
Cost-of-Living Relief 
Economic growth that reaches families, not just corporations

 

Families in New Jersey’s 12th District are working hard—but too many are still falling behind. Rising costs, stagnant wages, and economic uncertainty are putting pressure on households, seniors, and small businesses alike.

​

As a mayor, Adrian Mapp has focused on growing local economies while protecting working families. In Congress, he will bring that same practical, results-driven approach to ensure the economy works for everyone—not just those at the top.

​

  • Job creation through small-business growth and local entrepreneurship

  • Workforce development and skills training

  • Addressing inflation pressures on working families

  • Supporting fair wages and economic mobility.​

Infrastructure & Environmental Resilience
Building communities that last.
​

​Strong infrastructure is the backbone of healthy, resilient communities. In New Jersey’s 12th District, families depend on safe roads, reliable transportation, clean water, and neighborhoods that can withstand extreme weather and environmental challenges.

​

As a mayor, Adrian Mapp has seen firsthand how infrastructure investments—or the lack of them—directly affect quality of life. In Congress, he will fight to ensure federal infrastructure dollars are invested wisely, equitably, and where they are needed most.

​

  • Infrastructure modernization

  • Climate resilience and environmental justice

  • Clean water, transportation, and community sustainability

  • Federal investment targeted to local needs​

Good Government & Effective Leadership
Less Politics, More Progress
​

People are tired of gridlock, empty promises, and politics that get in the way of progress. New Jersey’s 12th District deserves leadership that delivers results—not rhetoric.

​

Adrian Mapp believes government works best when it is focused on outcomes, grounded in accountability, and willing to work across lines to get things done. As a mayor, he has led with responsibility, transparency, and a clear commitment to serving the public. In Congress, he will bring that same results-driven approach to Washington.

​

  • Results-driven governance

  • Bipartisan problem-solving

  • Accountability and transparency

  • Using executive experience to deliver outcomes

​​

Education & Youth Opportunity
Every child deserves a fair shot.
​

Education opens doors—and every child deserves a fair shot at success, no matter their ZIP code. ​Adrian Mapp believes strong schools, safe learning environments, and career pathways are essential to the future of NJ-12.

​

  • Strong public schools

  • Workforce pipelines connecting education to jobs

  • Youth mentorship and after-school programs

  • College and career readiness​​​

Healthcare & Public Health
Healthcare as a basic responsibility of government.
​

Healthcare should be accessible, affordable, and there when you need it. No family should have to choose between getting care and paying the bills.

​

Adrian Mapp believes healthcare is a basic responsibility of government—and mental health care is just as important as physical health care.

​

  • Access to affordable healthcare

  • Strengthening public health infrastructure

  • Mental health services, especially for youth and families

  • Protecting coverage and care for seniors

Public Safety & Community Trust
Safety through prevention, trust, and smart investment.

 

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community—and respected by those sworn to protect it. Public safety works best when it is built on trust, accountability, and prevention.

​

Adrian Mapp believes safety and justice go hand in hand. As mayor, he has worked to strengthen public safety while building trust between communities and law enforcement.

​

  • Community-based public safety strategies

  • Violence prevention and youth engagement

  • Support for first responders while strengthening accountability

  • Mental health and substance-use response capacity​​
