June 8th, 2022- New Jersey Assemblywoman Shanique Speight of the 29th Legislative District has raised over $10K for Newark West Ward City Council Candidate Dupree Kelly at a fundraiser reception for the upcoming run off election on Tuesday June 14th, 2022.

Dupree Kelly is backed by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and is running on the Team Baraka slate.

The fundraiser reception was co hosted by Crystal Williams, Lamar Worthington, Rev. Marques Aquill – Lewis, Brain Logan, Jermaine James, and James Wright Sr.

“As a state lawmaker who represents a portion of the West Ward in the City of Newark, I’m confident Dupre Kelly will continue to move Newark Forward. In addition, as the First Lady of Sunlight Missionary Baptist Church in the West Ward under the leadership of Bishop Andre Speight; we are proud to stand with Dupre Kelly.

We wholeheartedly support and endorse Mayor Baraka’s candidate for the West Ward City Council seat as we dont need a divided council. When there’s a divided council, our residents suffer. With Dupree Kelly, he’s a team player who will fight hard for West ward residents.”
