Republican Candidate Marco Navarro Leads Charge Against Brian Stack’s Political Tactics — Media Fails to Give Credit

In a growing political controversy, Republican State Assembly Candidate Marco D. Navarro (D-37) has emerged as the first to publicly challenge Union City Mayor and State Senator Brian Stack over a controversial letter urging Republican voters in LD-33 to switch party affiliation to vote for Stack’s preferred Democratic Assembly candidates. Despite Navarro’s immediate and vocal condemnation, Hudson County media has largely ignored his leadership, instead spotlighting Assembly Candidate Katie Brennan (D-32) for a recent social media post criticizing Stack.
Navarro Was First to Speak Out
When Stack’s letter surfaced, Navarro wasted no time in condemning it as a blatant attempt to manipulate the electoral process. “Brian Stack’s letter is a textbook example of why we need term limits,” Navarro said. “Career politicians have been gaming the system for decades, and it’s time to put an end to it.”
In the letter, Stack asked Republican voters to temporarily switch parties and vote for his handpicked Democratic Assembly candidates, Gabriel Rodriguez and Larry Wainstein, in the upcoming June primary. Stack even promised to assist voters in switching back to Republican registration after the primary. Navarro immediately pointed out that such tactics are designed to protect political control, not serve the interests of voters.
“Let’s be clear — the only political boss in Hudson County is Brian Stack,” Navarro stated. “This isn’t about fairness, it’s about preserving his grip on power and ensuring that his political machine stays intact.”
Navarro Calls for State Investigation
Taking his criticism a step further, Navarro called on the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC) and the state Division of Elections to investigate Stack’s tactics. Navarro argued that the letter is part of a larger pattern of questionable political behavior by Stack and his operation in Hudson County.
“This isn’t the first time Brian Stack has crossed the line,” Navarro said. “We’ve seen this kind of manipulation before — from sending letters to voters demanding to know why they didn’t support him, to using voter trailers and pressuring residents to come out and vote.”
There have been reports of volunteers knocking on doors and encouraging residents to vote, raising concerns about voter coercion. Navarro also pointed to long-standing allegations of irregularities involving voters registered at the 39th Street Cemetery — an issue that the Hudson County Election Office has seemingly ignored.
“The Hudson County Election Office has turned a blind eye to these tactics for years,” Navarro said. “It’s time for real oversight and accountability.”
Media Bias and Lack of Recognition
Despite being the first candidate to address the issue, Navarro has received little credit from local media. Instead, news coverage has focused on Assembly Camdidate Katie Brennan’s recent social media post where she criticized Stack’s letter. Brennan’s post, while critical of Stack, was made well after Navarro had already issued a public statement and called for a state investigation.
“The media’s coverage is disappointing but not surprising,” Navarro said. “When you challenge the political machine in Hudson County, they try to silence you. But I’m not backing down. Voters deserve to know the truth.”
The Hudson County Republican Organization has even criticized Stack in their social media post stating Republicans have their own candidates to vote for in the election.
A vast amount of comments from the public, criticizing Stack has been posted in the comments of the articles of Hudpost and Hudson County View.
A Pattern of Political Manipulation
Navarro pointed out that Stack’s letter is part of a broader pattern of political control in Hudson County. Stack has been known to send follow-up letters to voters who didn’t support him, asking them to explain why they didn’t vote for him. This has raised concerns about voter intimidation and political overreach.
“The fact that Brian Stack thinks it’s acceptable to demand answers from voters about how they vote is outrageous,” Navarro said. “Voters have a right to make their decisions without fear of retribution from political bosses.”
Navarro also highlighted Stack’s long history of using voter trailers — temporary trailer units used to consolidate voter bases and create leverage in local elections. “Stack’s political machine has been built on direct voter influence,” Navarro explained. “This is not democracy — it’s political engineering.”
Navarro’s Plan for Reform
Navarro has made it clear that breaking political machines throughout the state is central to his campaign. If elected to the State Assembly, Navarro has promised to introduce legislation to establish term limits at all levels of government — from municipal offices to the State House in Trenton.
“Term limits will put an end to this kind of political manipulation,” Navarro said. “Politicians shouldn’t be able to build lifelong careers on the backs of voters. We need accountability, and that starts with capping how long anyone can serve.”
Story Still Developing
The controversy surrounding Stack’s letter and Navarro’s challenge continues to unfold. Navarro’s call for a state investigation could put pressure on ELEC and the Division of Elections to review Stack’s political practices. Whether state authorities take action or the Stack political machine continues to operate unchecked remains to be seen.
“While I am running for Assembly in a district outside of Hudson County, the issue with Brian Stack has statewide implications that affect the integrity of elections across New Jersey. This is precisely why I am committed to running for office — to fight for political reform that will benefit every district in the state and put an end to political manipulation.” Navarro said.
Navarro’s push for term limits and political reform has already defined his campaign and could resonate with voters frustrated by years of political maneuvering in multiple districts throughout the state. As the June primary approaches, this issue is likely to remain a focal point in the race.

BREAKING: UNION CITY LEADERS ACCUSED OF DECADES-LONG COVER-UPS OF TEACHERS SEXUALLY ASSAULTING STUDENTS, HAVING SEX WITH STUDENTS & MAYOR STACK AND THE UNION CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION APPOINTING ALLEGED RAPIST SERGIO DEROJAS AS Union City SCHOOL SAFETY DIRECTOR!

Recent reports indicate that a Union City High School (UCHS) teacher was abruptly terminated last week under suspicious circumstances. Allegations suggest that top school officials are actively concealing the details, potentially covering up inappropriate relationships between the teacher and students. This incident is part of a disturbing pattern spanning over 20 years, where Union City Board of Education (BOE) officials have been implicated in covering up teacher sexual misconduct—AND A JUDGE JUST RULED THEY CAN BE HELD LIABLE! 🚨
👀 WHO KNOWS & IS KEEPING QUIET?
🔴 Superintendent Sylvia Abbato 🏫
🔴 Mayor & State Senator Brian Stack 🎩
🔴 UCHS Principal Ryan Lewis 📚
🔴 Union President Barbara Pinzon ⚖️
💥 THE LAW IS CLEAR—THEY MUST REPORT OR FACE PENALTIES!
📜 In New Jersey, anyone who suspects child abuse, including educator misconduct, is legally required to report it IMMEDIATELY to the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP). ❌🚔
❌ Failure to report is a criminal offense punishable by:
⚠️ Up to $500 in fines
⚠️ Up to 6 months in jail
⚠️ Disciplinary action for knowingly covering up misconduct
📢 JUDGE RULES: UNION CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION CAN BE HELD LIABLE!
In a BOMBSHELL RULING, Hudson County Superior Court Judge Kalimah Ahmad ruled last week that the Union City Board of Education CAN be held liable for a teacher’s sexual assault of two students dating back to 2004. This proves what many in the community have known all along—THEY HAVE BEEN COVERING FOR PREDATORS FOR DECADES!
Judge Ahmad revealed shocking facts in the ruling, exposing how Union City school officials ignored multiple warnings about teacher Francisco Realpe, allowing him to remain employed even after teachers and supervisors flagged his disturbing relationships with students.
👉 “The Board ignored their suspicions towards Defendant Realpe, did not investigate into Defendant Realpe’s relationships with multiple underage students, and allowed him to remain employed until his termination in 2005,” wrote Judge Ahmad.
👉 Jessica Garcia, one of Realpe’s victims, finally saw justice when the judge DENIED the Union City BOE’s motion to dismiss her case. “I had such a feeling of not just relief, but validation, to read the Court Order, especially seeing, in all capital letters, the word DENIED,” said Garcia.
👉 Realpe was eventually sentenced to four years in prison in January 2023, but HOW MANY OTHER TEACHERS HAVE BEEN PROTECTED JUST LIKE HIM? HOW MANY VICTIMS NEVER GOT JUSTICE?
🚨 AND NOW, MAYOR BRIAN STACK JUST HIRED AN ACCUSED RAPIST AS SCHOOL SAFETY DIRECTOR?!? 🚨
🔴 In a gut-wrenching slap to every woman in this country, Mayor Brian Stack and the Union City Board of Education have just hired retired Union City Lieutenant Sergio Rojas as the new Director of Safety for Union City schools!
🚨 Who is Sergio Rojas?
✔️ He has been accused of raping a female police dispatcher while he was a sergeant.
✔️ The victim was retaliated against.
✔️ The semen-stained chair with evidence was allegedly destroyed on orders from Mayor Brian Stack.
✔️ Instead of being held accountable, Rojas was PROMOTED to Lieutenant.
✔️ And NOW, Stack just gave him a job protecting OUR CHILDREN?!? 😡
🔥 THIS IS INSANE! THIS IS CRIMINAL! ROJAS MUST BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY! 🔥
This is not just negligence—this is deliberate, systemic corruption that enables sexual predators while silencing victims. 🚨 The entire Union City Board of Education must be removed, Mayor Brian Stack must resign, and the FBI must investigate every official involved in this cover-up!
⚠️ CALL TO ACTION: DEMAND JUSTICE NOW!
❗ If you have ANY information about inappropriate relationships between teachers and students OR if you know which administrators are covering it up, you must come forward NOW! ❗

Lawmakers want AG Impeached: Demanding Platkin to Resign

Recent developments have led to calls for the resignation and impeachment of New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, primarily due to his handling of issues within the New Jersey State Police (NJSP).
Allegations of Racial Discrimination and Misconduct within NJSP
In September 2024, two investigative reports unveiled systemic racial and gender discrimination within the NJSP, along with mishandling of internal complaints. The findings highlighted favoritism, retaliation against whistleblowers, and irregularities in the promotional process. Notably, a high-ranking officer retired with a substantial pension despite documented misconduct. These revelations have raised concerns about accountability and transparency under Attorney General Platkin’s oversight.
Antisemitic Remarks by NJSP Leadership
In October 2024, Lieutenant Colonel Sean Kilcomons, the second-in-command of the NJSP, was accused of making antisemitic remarks about Attorney General Platkin and his son during a “Bring Your Child to Work Day” event. Kilcomons allegedly referred to Platkin as “that Jew” and ordered a department helicopter to remain airborne to prevent Platkin’s son from seeing it. This incident has intensified scrutiny of the NJSP’s internal culture and leadership.
Calls for Resignation and Impeachment
In light of these issues, political figures and organizations, including the NAACP New Jersey State Conference, have called for Attorney General Platkin’s resignation. They argue that his oversight has been inadequate in addressing systemic discrimination and misconduct within the NJSP. The introduction of articles of impeachment reflects the severity of these concerns and the demand for accountability at the highest levels of state law enforcement.
These developments underscore the critical need for effective leadership and systemic reform within New Jersey’s law enforcement agencies to restore public trust and ensure justice for all residents.

Cliffside Park Officials Accused of Retaliation in EMT Lawsuit

Cliffside Park officials are facing a lawsuit from former EMT Timothy Horner, who alleges he was fired in retaliation for raising concerns about politically motivated and improper directives from EMS leadership. Horner, a military veteran, was hired as an EMT in June 2023 but was terminated in January 2024 after being suspended for questioning these directives. The lawsuit, filed on March 3, names EMS Director Michael Russo, Assistant Director William Bringas, and dispatcher Danielle Betts as defendants.
Horner claims that in October 2023, he was offered a full-time position as part of a “quid pro quo” arrangement after he questioned a directive to transport a political associate of Russo to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Montvale. The trip left Cliffside Park without ambulance coverage for nearly four hours. Horner argued that the directive violated public policy and proper patient care standards.
In another incident in September 2023, Horner was dispatched to a home for an intoxicated individual, where a Cliffside Park police officer allegedly told him the person was a relative of a “high-ranking, elected official in the borough.” Horner was instructed to take the person inside their home and leave them there despite the individual’s impaired state. After raising concerns that the directive violated patient care standards and could affect his EMT certification, Horner requested a meeting with Russo—but the meeting was never scheduled.
The lawsuit alleges that Horner faced retaliation after raising these concerns. In October 2023, he was directed to transport someone to the VA Clinic in East Orange for a non-emergency appointment. Russo allegedly told Horner to use emergency lights despite no medical need and instructed him not to maintain a patient chart or generate a bill. When Horner objected, the offer for full-time employment was withdrawn. He was later accused of being insubordinate and abandoned his post, leading to a two-week suspension. Horner says the stress from the situation triggered a serious medical condition requiring emergency care.
An anonymous EMS source has since criticized Assistant EMS Director William Bringas, alleging that Bringas’ career was politically handed to him despite lacking real EMS experience. According to the source, Bringas quickly became director of EMS in West New York and then in Cliffside Park due to political connections. “He has zero real EMS experience and should be the last person advising on patient care,” the source stated.
The source highlighted a broader issue within municipal EMS agencies, where political influence undermines proper patient care. “Political connections should never determine how EMS operates,” the source said. “Every patient should be treated equally and held to the highest medical standards, regardless of race, gender, or political affiliation.”
Horner’s lawsuit underscores concerns about the politicization of EMS leadership and raises questions about accountability and ethical practices within Cliffside Park’s emergency services.
