A statement from Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly:
“This is Coach Benjie Wimberly. As a coach and educator, I believe in building strong fundamentals-whether that is in the classroom, or on the field of play. For our communities, those fundamentals are simple: well paying jobs, thriving main streets, top-notch education for our children, safe streets, and protections of our fundamental rights as citizens. It is clear to me that Washington isn’t working for everyday folks. And we need strong leaders who will stand up to bullies and extremists to protect what is fundamental. That’s why I am running for Congress for the 9th Congressional District. I am asking for your support and vote at the Democratic Nominating Convention this Thursday. Join us as we build a better future together.”
For his part, Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh dropped out of the running earlier today.
