Andre Sayegh (born March 20, 1974)[1] is an American politician who has served as the Mayor of Paterson, the third-most populous city in New Jersey, since July 2018.

[4] Sayegh began his public service by serving on the Paterson school board and then in 2008, as a city councilman representing the 6th Ward.

[10] In Jan 2022, Bloomberg Philanthropies announced Paterson as one of 15 winning cities of the 2021-2022 Global Mayors Challenge, a worldwide innovation competition.

[11] One of the first grants secured during the Sayegh administration was Paterson’s entry into a 2019 national campaign to expand access to parks across the city.

This required creating a "Complete Count Committee" coalescing all the demographics groups in the city to fill out the Census survey.

[15] The Sayegh administration identified several transformative projects such as reviving Hinchliffe Stadium,[16] one of only two ballparks still standing that hosted Negro league baseball games.

The funding also supported an affordable housing initiative for senior citizens entitled "Grandparents Raising Grandchildren"[17] will provide 76 units for this vulnerable population.

[19][20] Sayegh mobilized city resources to drive COVID-19 testing, provide PPE to essential front-line workers.

Attorney General Matt Platkin announced that Jerry Moravek has been charged with assault after reviewing statements and body-worn camera footage.

[30] Platkin's comments alluded to the challenges created by frequent turnover at the top of the police department and the negative impact it has had on community relations.
