SIRES STATEMENT ON PASSING OF FORMER HUDSON COUNTY FREEHOLDER
“I am deeply saddened to hear about the death of my good friend former Hudson County Freeholder Eliu Rivera who passed away earlier today in Aibonito, Puerto Rico ,” said Sires. “The residents of Jersey City, Hudson County and the entire State of New Jersey lost a great leader and the Rivera family has lost a beloved patriarch. My sympathies go out to the entire Rivera family. Eliu was one of the founding members of Puertoriquenos Associados Community Organization better known P.A.C.O. In Jersey City. His leadership efforts on behalf of the Puerto Rican community as well as those less fortunate will succeed him for many years to come. He was a champion for all people and believed that everyone should have the chance to realize their potential to the fullest. Eliu’s fight against discrimination and consideration for the underrepresented will never be forgotten. .”
