Show Notes

Longtime public servant and Jersey City mayoral candidate Bill O’Dea joins us for an in-depth conversation about his life, career, and vision for the city. O’Dea shares stories from his childhood growing up on Baldwin Avenue, attending St. Joe’s and St. Peter’s Prep, and how early experiences—from delivering newspapers to working in Lincoln Park—shaped his view of politics as a way to help people. Now in his ninth term as a Hudson County Commissioner, O’Dea reflects on decades of service and how those experiences inform his campaign to become Jersey City’s next mayor.
