39 local elected officials from Union County are endorsing Fanwood Mayor Colleen Mahr for Democratic county chair, according to a list released by her campaign.
The list includes seven mayors: Derek Armstead (Linden),Tom Hannen (Cranford), Christine Dansereau (Roselle), Carl Hokanson (Roselle Park), Nora Radest Summit), Suzette Cavadas (Union), and Shelly Brindle (Westfield).
Jerry Green resigned as chairman this week and Union County Democrats must meet within the next four weeks to hold a special election to fill the remaining sixteen months of his term. In the meantime, Mahr, the vice chair, is the acting county chair.
“Colleen Mahr has our unwavering support in the coming election and we have already begun organizing to fight for that outcome,” the group said in a statement
