Middlesex County Democratic Organization Chairman McCabe’s Statement on the Passing of Former
Assemblyman and MCDO Chairman Peter Barnes II

Edison – ​Middlesex County Democratic Chairman Kevin McCabe today issued the following statement on the passing of former Assemblyman and MCDO Chairman Peter Barnes II:

“It is with a heavy heart that I learned today of the passing of Assemblyman Peter Barnes II, who
served Middlesex County so faithfully for so many years, both in the Legislature and during his time as its Democratic Chairman.

“I would also be remiss not to note that Assemblyman Barnes passed on a day when we
commemorate the fallen and the first responders who gave their lives in service to our nation. As a former FBI agent, Assemblyman Barnes embodied the spirit we remember today: courage, service and unwavering ethics and loyalty. On behalf of the MCDO, we offer his family our prayers and strength during this difficult time. Laurie and I will keep the entire Barnes family in our prayers.”
