Freeman drops out, backs McKoy

Valerie Freeman has dropped her bid for Mayor of Paterson and endorsed Bill McKoy for the post.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to run for Mayor of this great city. When you look at the remaining Mayoral Candidates in the race there is only one candidate who has the integrity to run our city efficient and honestly. That is why I am putting my full support behind Bill McKoy for Mayor,” Freeman said. “We need someone in the Mayor’s office that is firm, fair and strong. I sat with Councilman McKoy and every question I asked him he not only had an answer but an articulate and fair answer. We don’t need someone in the Mayor’s office that will be told what to do and how to do it but someone who is willing to listen to everyone in our community and that is why I am supporting Bill McKoy for Mayor.”
