“On behalf of UTCA, we congratulate George Helmy on his appointment to the United States Senate. I worked with George both as an Assemblyman and as Executive Director of UTCA and he’s always been willing to hear the issues and listen to all sides. He also understands that infrastructure is one of the most important issues in our country, especially here in New Jersey.
