Shahab Khan is an IT professional, public school parent, and community advocate running for Ward C City Council.

Shahab arrived to the U.S. on a student visa in 1998 from India. He built a successful career in the IT sector, working for major institutions like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, KPMG, and MSK Cancer Center. His role at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) allows him to contribute to life-saving technologies that aid cancer patients, reflecting his deep commitment to service and innovation.

Above all else, Shahab is a dedicated husband and father of two children who attend Jersey City Public Schools. His campaign is deeply personal because he wants to ensure safer streets, better schools, and a brighter future for the next generation of Jersey City families, including his children.

Shahab understands firsthand the struggles of working families in Ward C because he has lived them. As a father of two boys, both of whom are proudly Jersey City Public School graduates, he wants all children to grow up in a city where they can thrive. That means safer streets, well-funded schools, and a local government that puts residents first. Shahab is committed to being the voice that brings the concerns of the people directly to City Hall and ensures that Ward C will get the attention and investment it deserves.
