I support his re-election without reservation and will work to help send him back to office.”
Reacting to the endorsement, Pascrell stated, “As a former State Assemblyman myself, I am humbled to receive the support of our district’s brilliant, diverse legislators and thank them for their endorsement. Passaic, Bergen and Hudson County residents are lucky to have great teams advocating for them in Trenton. I am committed to working beside our Senators and Assembly representatives to do what’s best for our cities and towns.”
