Assemblyman Ned Thomson (R-Wall) made the following statement on the death of Assemblyman Ron Dancer:
“Ron Dancer was one of the most tenacious legislators I have ever had the pleasure of serving alongside. I cannot think of anyone who sponsored more pieces of legislation and worked more effectively with members from both sides of the aisle. His work on behalf of the residents of his district was tireless, and he dedicated his life to public service with a career that spanned decades. He served this state with compassion and integrity, and I am proud to have called him a friend. His passing is truly a great loss for the State of New Jersey, and my prayers are with his family.”
