My opponent ran away from debates. I’ll keep showing up for you.

By our campaign’s count, my challenger, Corey McNair, missed three debates before November 3. This week, I invited him to four more public debates. I proposed one livestreamed event in each of Trenton’s four wards. At each debate, each candidate would have 20 minutes for an opening presentation, followed by a Q&A with residents. He declined all four and called his decision “final.” Residents across Trenton have told me they’re disappointed. I’m appalled by his decision. Before the December 8 runoff, both candidates should debate and answer questions directly from residents. If you won’t answer to Trenton residents while you’re asking for their vote, why should they expect you to answer to them once you’re in City Hall?

Trenton police director Steve Wilson says his department's use-of-force incidents fell 32% between 2024 and 2025, a figure he points to as proof the city has turned a corner since a scathing federal civil-rights investigation. But newer numbers complicate that narrative: officers reported more use-of-force incidents in the first six months of 2026 than they did during the same stretch of 2025, at a rate on pace with 2024.
