(EGG HARBOR CITY) Earlier this month, Atlantic County Democrats selected Joyce Pratt of Galloway Township to run for Atlantic County Executive after the untimely passing of Margaret “Peggy” Capone.

“The best way to honor Peggy’s legacy is to continue her campaign,” said Pratt. “I’m honored that I can do a small part in carrying her torch, and I look forward to doing my part to ensure that all of our Democratic candidates have the greatest likelihood of success.”

Pratt is a small businesswoman, the owner and operator of two businesses: T&J Associatios and the Oneal Group. At T&J Associates, Pratt provides workplace training and investigations on behavioral issues to include equal employment opportunity and affirmative action for employees, conducts mediation meetings, and interacts with government for minority and female equity. At Oneal Group, Pratt assists nonprofits and businesses with grant writing and communications.

Pratt is a graduate of Stockton University and holds various educational certificates. She volunteers with her church and is a member of the Cape Atlantic District United Methodist Women.
