NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS MOURN THE PASSING OF ASSEMBLYMAN AND FORMER UNION COUNTY CHAIRMAN JERRY GREEN

[Trenton] — On behalf of the entire New Jersey Democratic State Committee, Chairman John Currie and Vice Chair Lizette Delgado-Polanco issued the following statement regarding the passing of State Assemblyman and former Union County Democratic Chairman Jerry Green:

“Today, with the passing of Jerry Green, New Jersey lost a true leader. Jerry’s long-time public service career, including over 25 years as a member and leader of the New Jersey General Assembly, has greatly improved the quality of life for not only the residents of his district, but of all New Jerseyans. In the Legislature, Jerry focused on many issues, but his true love, was working as Chair of the Housing Committee to make sure residents had an affordable roof over their heads. We want to also mention Chairman Green’s strong commitment to the Democratic Party and it’s values. In the wake of his unfortunate passing, we send our sincere condolences and best wishes to Jerry’s family and to his many friends and admirers.”
