“ It is a special honor to voice my support for one of Newark’s very own, Tim Alexander, to represent New Jersey’s second Congressional District,” said Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka. “Tim is the only candidate in this race who has a clear and consistent record of public service that includes protecting our civil liberties, promoting women’s reproductive rights, fair elections and more. Our state and our country need someone they can trust and rely on in Congress. Tim Alexander is the best candidate in this race to get the job done.”

“I am so honored to have this endorsement from Ras J Baraka, mayor of my home city–Newark, New Jersey. Mayor Baraka has gone above and beyond to fight for his residents by working hand-in-hand with leaders at the local, state and federal levels to deliver real results. I hope to serve in Congress in that same mold and I am grateful for his support.
