Today, Union County Democratic Committee Chairman Nicholas P. Scutari issued the following statement:

Chairman Currie has worked hard on behalf of Democrats throughout New Jersey, and I thank him for his service. As we begin laying the groundwork for Democratic success in 2020 and beyond, I believe party cohesion and effective leadership are absolutely necessary. The unparalleled success and unifying leadership Chairman LeRoy Jones has displayed in Essex County should serve as a model for what we need at the New Jersey Democratic State Committee in the years ahead.
