Reynolds-Jackson plans to keep county chair role

Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson (D-Trenton) plans to stay on as Mercer County Democratic Committee chairwoman now that she’s in the statehouse.

“We’ve done a lot of great things here in the county trying to make sure we keep all of our Democratic people in office, and I think we want to continue along,” Reynolds-Jackson said. “We have a good coalition to do that”

Reynolds-Jackson won a special election for the 15th district Assembly seat in February, after Elizabeth Muoio resigned to become state treasurer under Gov. Phil Murphy.  Reynolds-Jackson gave up her Trenton city council seat to go to the Legislature and is not a candidate in tomorrow’s Trenton municipal election.

She is one of four incumbent legislators to serve as county chair on the Democratic side.
