WATSON COLEMAN THANKS HUGHES 

FOR HIS DECADES OF SERVICE

Congresswoman also says: “It’s time for us all to unite to make sure we don’t allow our County to turn Red again.”

EWING – Thanking Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes for his years of public service, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman today made the following statement.

“I would like to take a moment to thank my friend, Brian Hughes, for his tremendous service to our County and our Democratic Party.  It wasn’t that long ago that Mercer County was Republican dominated and Brian was among the first to step up and successfully take on the challenge to slowly advance our Democratic values reflective of Mercer County’s residents.  His work for our Party is only matched by the remarkable job he did in leading our county government to provide outstanding services for every resident, even as he focused on making Mercer County affordable.”

“Democracy is neither neat nor tidy, but it allows for effective participation in electing our leaders.  I applaud the selfless decision of Brian’s to not put our county through the burden of a primary.  Today it is time for each of us to stand with Dan Benson in his campaign to be our next County Executive.  It’s time for us all to unite to make sure we don’t allow Mercer County to turn Red again.”
