BREAKING: Federal Fraud Complaints Filed Against Mayor Brian Stack’s Campaign for Illegal Mailbox Flyer Scheme

Union City, NJ – May 24, 2025

In a stunning escalation of legal scrutiny against Union City Mayor and State Senator Brian Stack, federal fraud complaints have been officially filed after campaign workers associated with his political machine were allegedly caught violating federal law by placing campaign flyers directly into U.S. mailboxes without postage — a crime under 18 U.S. Code § 1725.

The flyers, which promoted Assembly candidates Gabe Rodriguez and Larry Weinstein, were reportedly found inside residential mailboxes throughout multiple municipalities, prompting an immediate backlash from watchdog groups and private citizens alike.

Violation of Federal Mail Law: 18 U.S. Code § 1725

According to federal statute:

“Whoever knowingly deposits mailable matter such as flyers or circulars in any letterbox without proper postage shall be subject to a fine of up to $5,000 per offense.”

This means that each mailbox unlawfully used could carry a penalty of up to $5,000. If even just 100 mailboxes were targeted — as multiple residents have already alleged — that amounts to up to $500,000 in potential federal fines.

Political Crime in Plain Sight

“This isn’t just a case of dirty politics,” said a source from Leroy Truth Investigations, the citizen group who helped document and report the offense. “This is an intentional, coordinated act to skirt federal law and flood communities with propaganda — without oversight, without accountability, and without respect for the law.”

According to reports, flyers were distributed by Stack’s campaign teams without postage and without permission, using public and private mailboxes across Hudson County and beyond.

The materials directly endorsed:

Gabe Rodriguez – current Assembly candidate and Union City Commissioner, widely known as Stack’s protégé. Larry Weinstein – Assembly hopeful and alleged beneficiary of Stack’s political machinery.

A Pattern of Abuse

Critics argue that this latest scheme fits a well-documented pattern of abuse tied to Brian Stack’s political operations, which have long drawn accusations of pay-to-play practices, retaliatory politics, and illegal campaign tactics. Stack, who has been under the mentorship of both convicted felon William Musto and indicted Senator Bob Menendez, continues to face mounting calls for investigation.

“Stack’s political empire has always operated above the law,” said a longtime Hudson County resident. “Now, with federal laws broken in broad daylight, it’s time for real accountability.”

What Residents Can Do

The public is now being urged to report any such mailbox violations. If residents received a flyer inside their mailbox — rather than in a newspaper slot or on a doorknob — they are encouraged to:

Call the FBI Tip Line: 1-800-CALL-FBI Contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service: 1-877-876-2455 File an online report: www.uspis.gov/report

Photos, videos, or tips can also be submitted to LeroyTruth247@gmail.com or by calling the Corruption Hotline: (305) 707-8325.

Conclusion: A Corrupt Machine Under Fire

As more evidence surfaces, public pressure is mounting for law enforcement to take action against what many are calling “a coordinated federal crime spree by Stack’s political machine.” With ties to Menendez, a long trail of ethical violations, and a deeply entrenched power network, Stack may soon face the full weight of federal justice.

This scandal only reinforces what residents across New Jersey have long suspected — the corruption in Hudson County runs deep, and it starts at the top.
