Joe Cryan; Assemblyman Jamal Holley; Assemblywoman Annette Quijano; Mayors Ray Giacobbe of Rahway, Colleen Mahr of Fanwood, and Ronald DiMura of Middlesex Borough; Union County Sheriff Peter Corbelli; Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi; Union County Freeholders Sergio Granados, Bette Jane Kowalski, Al Mirabella, Christopher Hudak, Bruce Bergen, Mohamed Jalloh and Angela Garretson; Democratic Municipal Chairs John DelSordi of Scotch Plains, Kevin O’Brien of Rahway, Margaret McManus of Winfield, and Shalonda Tanner of Dunellen; and North Plainfield Democratic Municipal Vice Chair Janice Allen.
