Torres Endorses Weiner Against Aponte-Lipski

Former Freeholder Joel Torres is backing Dr. Aaron Weiner in the heated race for his old seat, calling for bold, independent leadership that won’t bow to a broken political system. Weiner, a progressive healthcare advocate running as an independent, promises to reopen Christ Hospital, tackle the housing crisis with county land, and boost street safety. His campaign highlights Torres’ historic vote against the ICE detention contract — a move that cost him his seat and exposed the political machinery that still punishes dissent. With Election Day just weeks away, Weiner’s push for a public debate with incumbent Aponte-Lipski — who’s refused to engage — underscores his challenge to the Democratic establishment and his commitment to courageous, community-driven governance.
