In addition to Murphy and Sweeney, other speakers at the convention include Assemblymen Vince Mazzeo, Troy Singleton, Wayne DeAngelo, Joseph Egan, Tom Giblin, and Craig Coughlin, Reps. Norcross, Gottheimer, Pallone, and MacArthur, Senator Fred Madden, and Senate candidates Colin Bell (LD2) and Vin Gopal (LD11).
