About
Why Darrell Armstrong?
Rev. Darrell L. Armstrong is stepping forward to lead New Jersey at a pivotal moment in our history. He believes the two-party system no longer reflects the values, voices, or needs of many New Jersey residents and it’s time for something different.
A Unifying, Forward Thinking Vision...
Rev. Armstrong is running as an independent to:
- Unify our state across political, racial, and socioeconomic lines
- Promote innovation in every sector from education to energy
- Revitalize agriculture and industry for a sustainable future
- Create equitable financial opportunities that lift every community
- Protect, expand essential services for marginalized children, families, & neighborhoods
Now more than ever, New Jersey needs collaborative leadership that isn’t beholden to party politics, but to people.
About Rev. Armstrong
I Didn’t Just Age Out - I Rose Up.
Rev. Armstrong is more than a preacher he’s a prophet of possibility. A former foster youth who aged out of the system, he carries a message forged in real struggle and radiant hope. From church pulpits to college campuses, he lifts up young people navigating life after care offering not just inspiration, but a roadmap rooted in faith, community, and practical wisdom. With every sermon, every workshop, every partnership, Rev. Armstrong proves that aging out does not mean being left out. He is living proof that healing is possible, purpose is attainable, and that one caring adult especially one who’s been there can change the trajectory of a life.
He doesn’t speak about resilience he embodies it.

Our Mission
Helping Youth RiseOne Relationship at a Time
Every year, thousands of young people leave foster care with little more than a trash bag and a dream. We believe they deserve more:
- More support.
- More connection.
- More belief in what’s possible.
Rev. Armstrong leads programs, mentorship, and partnerships that walk alongside youth in their transition to adulthood with spiritual grounding, real-world skills, and a message of enduring hope.
Rev. Armstrong Is Deeply Motivated By:
diversity & equity
The erosion of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies across the country.
injustice & discrimination
The urgent need to counter injustice and discrimination.
Independent, value thinkers
A call for independent, values-driven thinkers to come together for the common good.
Under Darrell Armstrong’s leadership, New Jersey can become A Better Future
What I Will Do...
I believes New Jersey’s strength lies in its diversity, resilience, and shared humanity. By bridging divides, we can craft policies that serve all not just the loudest or the wealthiest.
Let’s create a New Jersey we’re proud to pass on to future generations where opportunity is real, dignity is protected, and everyone has a seat at the table.
Issues I Will Work On...
Revitalizing New Jersey’s Economy
- Make New Jersey more affordable to live in by creating non-partisan think tanks focused on economic improvements. Implement tax reductions and provide incentives for businesses to stimulate economic growth. Focus on job creation and leverage ports and the Atlantic Ocean to make New Jersey an attractive hub for businesses and a vibrant tourist destination.
Driving Innovation and Sustainability
- Support clean energy initiatives and sustainable practices to protect our farmers and natural resources, positioning New Jersey as a leader in environmental stewardship and innovation.
Implementing Comprehensive Immigration Reform
- Advocate for legal and fair immigration policies that reflect New Jersey’s values of diversity and inclusion, while ensuring that residents are safe and have equitable opportunities and protections. Address and prevent the influence of bad actors by enforcing regulations to maintain the integrity and security of our communities.
Strengthening New Jersey Families
- Develop and support programs that create thriving and sustainable environments for families, ensuring access to essential services, education, and resources that promote stability, community and opportunities.
Enhancing Community Relationships
- Foster unity among diverse political, racial, socioeconomic, and religious communities, building a cohesive society where all voices are heard and respected. Create a state where we focus on our similarities while respecting our differences.
Promoting Educational Opportunities
- Enhance education and workforce development programs to produce a more skilled workforce, emphasizing higher education and vocational training to meet the needs of a dynamic economy.
From the Heart: Rev. Armstrong’s Story
“At 18, I aged out with no family, no money, and a silent phone. But God wasn’t done with me. And now, I get to be the voice on the other end of that call for someone else”

My Voice for Every Voter
Voting is not just a right it’s a sacred trust, enshrined in our Constitution and protected by five Amendments. Yet too many New Jerseyans feel unseen and unheard by the political establishment. If you’re frustrated with politics as usual if no one on the left or right seems to get your daily realities, your worries about the economy, equity, immigration, or public safety you’re not alone
I’m running for Governor to give you a real choice. A choice beyond the partisan noise. A chance to boldly color outside the political lines
This November 4, write in Darrell Armstrong for Governor. Let’s make history together.
