Bipartisan Movement for Change: Leroy Truth Investigations Attends Hector & Alonso Campaign Rally in Union City

UNION CITY, NJ — April 26, 2025

Today, independent investigative journalist Leroy Truth attended a vibrant campaign rally in Union City hosted by State Assembly candidates Tony Hector and Frank Alonso, who are running for the 33rd Legislative District. The event also featured interviews with Hudson County Sheriff Frank Schillari, who is seeking reelection, and Marco Navarro, Republican candidate for State Assembly in the 37th District.

During these interviews, a powerful bipartisan message emerged. Despite representing different political parties, Tony Hector, Frank Alonso, Frank Schillari, and Marco Navarro pledged a united mission: to root out corruption across New Jersey, particularly in Hudson County and their own districts. Their shared vision includes implementing strict term limits at every level of government, restoring accountability, and breaking the cycle of political entrenchment that has long plagued the Garden State.

One of the key figures targeted in this bipartisan call for reform is Union City Mayor and State Senator Brian Stack, who also chairs the New Jersey Senate Judiciary Committee. Critics, including the candidates at today’s rally, argue that Stack’s control over the executive, legislative, and judicial branches—through his multiple powerful roles—amounts to a dangerous concentration of political power in one individual. They warned that such unchecked dominance threatens democratic governance and underscores the urgent need for structural reforms like term limits.

In a particularly poignant moment, Leroy Truth contrasted his experience at today’s rally with the hostile treatment he previously received from the Brian Stack-backed Assembly campaign of Gabriel Rodriguez and Larry Weinstein along with multiple commissioner meetings in Union City hosted by Brian Stack. Leroy Truth recounted how, while attempting to cover their campaign events, he was assaulted, forcibly removed from offices, and even arrested, all for simply doing his job as an independent journalist.

In stark contrast, Hector and Alonso’s campaign demonstrated openness, respect, and transparency—welcoming Leroy Truth without hostility or fear of scrutiny. “Here, I am treated not as an outcast or an enemy, but as an American exercising his right to free speech,” Leroy stated, emphasizing the refreshing change in political tone offered by the new wave of candidates.

Today’s rally was more than a campaign stop—it was a clear call to the people of Hudson County and beyond: a better New Jersey is possible when candidates are willing to work across party lines to prioritize the people over entrenched political machines.

As the election approaches, the growing coalition behind Hector and Alonso for Assembly, Frank Schillari for Hudson County Sheriff, and Marco Navarro for Assembly in District 37 signals a mounting demand for real reform, real accountability, and an end to the culture of corruption that has defined New Jersey politics for too long.

The voters of Hudson County and New Jersey now face a critical choice: continue under a system dominated by unchecked political dynasties—or embrace a future built on transparency, term limits, and true public service.
