ADAMO, LAZZARA, De VORE AND BARTLETT FOLLOW THROUGH ON PROMISE TO RAISE OVER $5,000 FOR EVA’S VILLAGE

Democrats prepare to present check for nonprofit that provides meals, shelter, treatment and recovery programs and workforce training  

PASSAIC COUNTY– Continuing to draw a stark contrast to Jerry Speziale and his Speziale Bossed team of county candidates, Passaic County Democratic candidate for County Sheriff Chief Thomas Adamo and candidates for County Commissioner Cassandra “Sandi” Lazzara, Rodney De Vore and John Bartlett today announced they reached their goal of raising over $5,000 to be donated to Eva’s Village in Paterson.

The candidates for county office themselves donated $2,500 to Eva’s Village, “a nonprofit, comprehensive behavioral health and social service organization with a mission to provide care and support for people struggling with poverty, hunger, homelessness, and addiction.”

Eva’s Village provides a community kitchen that serves over 1,100 meals a day, treatment and recovery programs, emergency shelters for men and women and mentorship and workforce training to help individuals find fulfilling careers.

Adamo, Lazzara, De Vore and Bartlett said, “We are very appreciative of everyone who contributed to this important effort.  It means a lot to us to be able to raise money for a group with such strong ties to our community and that offers assistance to so many in need.  We believe this effort is a tremendous indicator of what can happen when we work together to give back to those who work so hard each day to support our neighbors and who so greatly represent our Democratic values.”

The Passaic County Democratic team went on to note, “The over $5,000 raised is also symbolically important to us as a team since it has now been more than 5,000 days since Jerry Speziale promised to donate his Democratic contributions to charity after he abandoned the Democratic Party for Chris Christie.  We are now all very clear that this was a lie and that Jerry never intended to give a dime to charity while his Speziale bossed team of Sean ‘Not Terry’ Duffy, Derya Taskin and Pedro Liranzo were never going to hold him to account.  Fortunately for Passaic County Democratic voters, we are just hours away from finally being done with MAGA Jerry and his team’s lies.”

It has been over 5,000 days since Speziale said he would contribute, “For my sick wife-cancer UMDNJ, the needy children, baseball, soccer, kids, sports which I believe in, etc.”.  In true Trump fashion, Speziale did not do that and instead used those funds to run against the candidates endorsed by the Passaic County Democratic Committee and Democrats throughout the state and county, including Governor Phil Murphy, Senator Cory Booker, Rep. Bill Pascrell, Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Rep. Josh Gottheimer.
