A Community Leader with Proven Results
Ambrossi has become a familiar advocate for making Jersey City better—especially in the Heights. His leadership track record shows he knows how to get things done for his neighbors.
Accomplishments and Experience
As president of the Leonard Gordon Park Conservancy, Ambrossi led the charge to secure a major renovation for one of the city’s favorite parks. He really dove into the municipal process and actually delivered results for people who live here.
He also served on the board of the Jersey City Parks Coalition, which helped build his reputation as someone who fights for parks and public spaces. Back in 2020, Ambrossi ran for the Ward D council seat but lost to Councilman Yousef Saleh. That race probably gave him a clearer view of what it takes to win and serve effectively.
Now, with Saleh not expected to run again after a disappointing finish in the June 10th Assembly primary, the door is open for fresh faces.

The Political Landscape
Ambrossi is up against a pretty crowded field: Catherine Healy (who’s backed by former Governor Jim McGreevey), Jake Ephros, Elvin Dominici (on Bill O’Dea’s slate), and Veronica Akaezuwa (part of James Solomon’s team). Jeff Justice Williams is also running, and he’s got Council President Joyce Watterman’s support.
It’s a packed ballot, which just shows how much the Ward D seat matters for shaping what comes next in Jersey City. Mussab Ali, meanwhile, hasn’t been shy about his support for Ambrossi.
