Millburn Mayor Joins Senator Codey in Hugin Condemnation.

“The insult that NJ State GOP Chairman Bob Hugin spit at our Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill on Election night was not just a disgrace but personally disqualifying for him on so many levels.

“I join with former Governor Codey in condemning Hugin’s remarks and his call for him to resign, effective immediately.

“There is no place in a civil society where when entrusted with responsibility you can exhibit such uncivil and misogynistic behavior and not expect to be held accountable.

“As currently the only woman mayor in all of Essex County, I am a firm and staunch advocate for encouraging women to seek public office and leadership positions when they get there.

“They deserve to be treated with respect, at the very least, and not as punching bags for someone’s political gain or as an excuse for disappointment and defeat.

 “Republican Chairman Hugin, speaking for his defeated candidate, owed our Congresswoman Sherrill a magnanimous salute, a gracious nod for her stellar accomplishments and for her service to our state and country.

“Certainly, she deserves better than his vile ‘locker room’ remarks.”
