Walter Reed Gusciora (born March 27, 1960) is an American Democratic Party politician who has served as the 48th mayor of Trenton, New Jersey since 2018. He previously served from 1996 to 2018 in the New Jersey General Assembly, where he represented the 15th Legislative District.
Early life
Gusciora was born in Passaic, New Jersey and raised in Jamesburg, where he attended public schools and graduated from Jamesburg High School in 1978. Gusciora's father, Walter, worked at the New Jersey Department of Health in Trenton and the city was an integral part of his childhood. As a teenager, Gusciora worked for his family's company, Aardvark Pest Control, and in his free time, he spent time visiting Trenton's prominent museums and restaurants. He received a B.A. from The Catholic University of America (CUA) in Politics/International Relations and worked his way through college by working at the Library of Congress. After graduation, he worked on Capitol Hill in the congressional offices of U.S. Representatives Andy Ireland (D-FL) and the late Mike Synar (D-OK). Gusciora was awarded a J.D. in 1988 from the Seton Hall University School of Law. He also served as the prosecutor for Lawrence Township,[1] Hopewell Borough,[2] and Princeton.[3]
Legislative career
In 1995, Gusciora beat Joseph Constance, a former Mercer County Freeholder and deputy police chief of Trenton Police Department, who received support from the National Rifle Association of America and campaigned against New Jersey's teachers' union. At the time, Republicans outnumbered Democrats 53 to 27 in the New Jersey State Legislature, and Constance received the momentum of the State's shift towards moderate Republicanism under popular Governor Christine Todd Whitman.[4] Gusciora's victory maintained New Jersey's 15th Legislative District as a Democratic stronghold.
Gusciora was the Deputy Majority Leader between 2008 and 2018, and was the Assembly's Assistant Minority Leader from 1998 to 2001. He served as Chairman of the Assembly Regulatory Oversight, Federal Relations, and Reform Committee and the Environment and Solid Waste Committee; he was a member of the Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance and Assembly Labor Committees.[5]
Gusciora authored the "Paramount Safety" Law that changed the legal standard in child custody cases to protect the health and well-being of the child when abuse has occurred. He is the author of a law that streamlines services for people with developmental disabilities through the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education. He is also the original prime sponsor of legislation that would allow patients to sue HMOs for malpractice and the "Senior Gold Prescription Discount Act," which expanded the state's prescription drug program for seniors.

Gusciora sponsored 4 pieces of legislation signed into law by Governor Christine Todd Whitman and Governor Donald DiFrancesco: “The Emergency Management Assistance Compact Act,”[6] establishing new procedures for the application for services provided to the developmentally disabled,[7] and appropriating funding to a no-kill animal organization.[8]
Gusciora served as the co-sponsor of 80 pieces of legislation signed into law including legislation that prohibits leaving an animal unattended under inhumane conditions in a vehicle,[9] enacts the “FamilyCare Health Coverage Act,”[10] creates the Neighborhood Revitalization State Tax Credit Act, and the “Senior Gold Prescription Discount Act.[11]”

Role as mayor
He defeated businessman Paul Perez to become Mayor of Trenton in 2018, earning 52 percent of the vote in a runoff election on June 12 since no candidate won the 50 percent threshold or more in the May 8 election.[57]
Youth initiatives
Gusciora convened the first youth council since the Doug Palmer administration (a decade prior): This consistent of students, between eight grade and high school seniors, representing each of the four wards, who provided counsel to Gusciora.[58][59]
Gusciora's administration hired a record number of city youth for summer employment and expanded summer programming for city students.[60][61]
Gusciora's initiative, "Trenton Production and Knowledge Innovation Campus" (TPKIC), was awarded the Innovative Challenge grant by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. The City partnered with Princeton University, Rider University, The College of New Jersey, Thomas Edison State University, and Mercer County Community College to build the vision behind the application, which seeks to support start-up businesses, local creators, students and faculty at partner colleges and universities, and Trenton Public Schools students and recent graduates.[62]
Gusciora launch of the Trenton Youth "WIN" App, a mobile application, which is designed to connect City youth with access to essential services. The City of Trenton, in conjunction with the County of Mercer and Continuum of Care partners, accepted the pledge to prevent and end youth homelessness in 2020. As part of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, the City of Trenton has developed community partnerships to promote, educate, and commit to eliminating homelessness within the Capital City. The WIN application has been identified as a crucial way to establish channels of communication with youth who may feel embarrassed when going to a governmental agency. ”[63]
Housing and economic development
Within his first 6 months of holding office, Gusciora reported that his administration had received $17 million in new public and private grant funding and that there were pursuing $19 million in grants and aid.[64]
Gusciora also stated that $6 million in Community Development Block Grants (from 2011 to 2018), from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, was in the process of being unfrozen. On January 21, 2020, Gusciora stated that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had decided to release funds to the Capital City because of Gusciora's re-hiring of key positions needed for the appropriate management of federal funds. While most of the funding was used to pay back the city for past projects, the rest will go into public facility renovations and improvements for senior centers.[65]
In September 2019, Gusciora touted the results of Trenton's monthly public property auction as the largest and most successful in the city's history. On that day alone, 86 City-owned properties, valued at a collective $3.3 million, were auctioned off, and went back on the tax rolls.[66] Around the same time, Gusciora and the Trenton Housing Authority (THA) won $1.3 million in Choice Neighborhood Planning and Action Grant funds, distributed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to develop a comprehensive neighborhood transformation plan for Donnelly Homes.[67]
In December 2019, Ordinance 19–80 and 19–79, legislation that Gusciora designed and advocated for was passed by the City Council. The legislation authorized sidewalk cafés (without City approval) and the distribution of alcohol for brunch on Sunday mornings earlier (earlier than neighboring municipalities).[68]
Public safety
On October 15, 2019, Gusciora announced that the city had been awarded $85,000 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's 2019 Port Security Grant Program. The funds subsidized the purchase of 3 watercraft with engines, dive rescue equipment, and additional supplies.[69]
Gusciora spearheaded the creation of a Real Time Crime Center, a partnership with the New Jersey State Police, to prevent future criminal activity.
In 2022, Darrell L. Clarke and members of the Philadelphia City Council met with Gusciora to learn about Trenton's crime reduction strategies after Trenton went three summer months without a homicide.[61][70]
Health and human services
In November 2019, Gusciora shared that the City of Trenton's Department of Health had won a $95,000 grant "Strengthening Local Public Health Capacity Grant Operations" from the New Jersey Department of Health. The funds are being utilized to supplement Gusciora's efforts to reduce the number of residents affected by vaccine-preventable illnesses.[71]
Gusciora launched Trenton's first Neighborhood Health Clinic, which provides free vaccinations for city residents and is expected to provide primary services in the future.[72][73]
Veteran's issues
In November 2019, Gusciora collaborated with veteran Willie Smith and a student leader at Trenton Central High School to win Governor Murphy's "We Value our Veterans Community Award" for City initiatives to help City veterans access medical care, find employment, and locate permanent housing.[74]
COVID-19 response
Gusciora's published a document "COVID-19: Trenton Testing Status Report," which outlined steps that his administration had taken to reduce the fatality rate of COVID-19 in the Capital City during the pandemic. The report was the first of its kind written by a municipality in New Jersey and published publicly. At the time of the report, the city's fatality rate of those infected with COVID-19 was 2.8% while the fatality rate in the state of New Jersey was 7.4%. Gusciora outlined a set of proactive steps that the city had taken to increase the amount of testing, secure personal protective equipment, and coordinate with other governmental agencies.[75]
One of Gusciora's policies, created a business loan program for city small businesses, who could apply for up to $20,000 in emergency loans. The Trenton Emergency Loan Program used existing funds from the city's urban enterprise zone and exceeded state and county programs set up to assist businesses with their economic recovery.[76]
Executive leadership
In July 2019, Gusciora announced that he had been selected as one of 40 mayors to participate in the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative, which is an initiative founded by Michael Bloomberg of Bloomberg Philanthropies and three-term mayor of New York City as well as Harvard University. The mission of the program is to inspire and strengthen city leaders as well as equip them with the tools to lead high-performing and innovative cities.[77]
Politics
Gusciora is a supporter of gay rights and same-sex marriage.[78] In December 2006, he publicly acknowledged his homosexuality, thereby becoming the first ever openly gay member of the New Jersey Legislature.[79] In January 2012, he was joined by Assemblyman Tim Eustace, the openly gay mayor of Maywood, who was elected to the General Assembly from the 38th District.[citation needed]
On Governor Chris Christie's opposition to a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in the state, Gusciora stated "Govs. Lester Maddox and George Wallace would have found allies in Chris Christie over efforts by the Justice Department to end segregation in the South", and "[Christie] would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets of the South."[80][81]
Christie responded, "What I said was I’m sure that civil rights advocates would have liked to have this as another option but it was not available to them, yet you have numbnuts like Reed Gusciora who put out a statement comparing me to George Wallace and Lester Maddox."[80] The two later amended their differences.[82]
