Crystal Feliciano Secures Re-Election to Trenton City Council Without Runoff

TRENTON, NEW JERSEY — Lance P. Lopez, Sr., Campaign Manager for Councilwoman Crystal Feliciano, proudly celebrates her successful re-election to the Trenton City Council At-Large following the November 3, 2026 municipal election.
Feliciano emerged as the leading vote-getter in a competitive six-candidate field, demonstrating the confidence Trenton residents have placed in her leadership, commitment to public service, and continued dedication to improving the quality of life throughout the Capital City.

The election results also mark an important achievement for the campaign, with Feliciano securing her seat without the need for a December runoff election.

For Lopez, this victory carries special significance, as it marks his second election serving as Feliciano’s campaign manager, further strengthening a political partnership built on trust, commitment, and a shared vision for Trenton’s future.

“Having had the privilege of serving as Crystal Feliciano’s campaign manager for two elections, I cannot begin to express how incredibly proud I am of her, our entire campaign team, and most importantly, the residents of Trenton who made this victory possible,” said Lopez.

“Crystal has continued to demonstrate the leadership, determination, and genuine love for this city that first inspired me to stand alongside her. To have the opportunity to lead her campaign once again and witness the overwhelming support from our community is both humbling and rewarding. This victory is a testament to her hard work, the dedication of our team, and the faith that the people of Trenton continue to place in her.”

Lopez emphasized that the campaign’s success was never about one individual, but rather the collective determination of residents, volunteers, supporters, and community leaders who believed in Feliciano’s leadership.

“I am especially proud of our campaign team. These are individuals who sacrificed their personal time, knocked on doors, made telephone calls, engaged their neighbors, and worked tirelessly because they believed in Crystal and what she represents. I am equally proud of our community for showing up, making their voices heard, and demonstrating that their votes truly matter. This was a victory earned together.”

“Elections provide an opportunity for residents to determine the direction of their city, and now that the voters have made their selections, it is time to put the campaign season behind us and focus on the important work ahead. The people of Trenton deserve leadership that works together, regardless of political differences, to move our city forward.”

As Feliciano prepares to continue her service on the Trenton City Council, Lopez reaffirmed the importance of strengthening neighborhoods, improving public safety, supporting economic development, expanding opportunities for young people, and ensuring that residents throughout the city have a meaningful voice in local government.

“Crystal understands that public service is about people, not politics. Her re-election represents more than another term in office. It represents another opportunity to build on the relationships she has established, address the challenges facing our neighborhoods, and continue delivering meaningful results for the people who entrusted her with their vote.”

Reflecting on the significance of managing two successful campaigns for Feliciano, Lopez expressed his personal appreciation for the relationship they have developed and the trust she has placed in his leadership.

“To be trusted to manage someone’s campaign once is an honor. To be asked to return and lead that effort a second time is something I take tremendous pride in. I am extremely proud of Crystal, not simply because she won, but because of the person and public servant she continues to be. I am proud of our team for never losing sight of our mission, and I am proud of the Trenton community for believing in what we could accomplish together.”

Lopez concluded with a message of gratitude and unity.

“This victory belongs to the people of Trenton. We are grateful, we are humbled, and we are energized for the work ahead. Congratulations to Crystal and all those who were elected to serve the City of Trenton. The election is behind us, but our responsibility to the residents continues. Now is the time to come together, work collaboratively, and keep moving our Capital City forward.”
