NJ-11: Four N.J. DNC members endorse Gill for Congress
Four New Jersey members of the Democratic National Committee – Modia Butler, Bernadette McPherson, John Graham, and Marcia Marley – are supporting Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill (D-Montclair)’s campaign to succeed Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey’s 11th congressional district.
“Brendan Gill has always been a champion for working families, public education, and equity,” Marley said in a statement. “He’s smart, principled, and proven. Brendan brings people together to get things done, and he’ll be a powerful advocate for our values in Congress.”
Butler and McPherson both have longstanding ties to Gill, a top Democratic political operative. Butler is an advisor to Senator Cory Booker, whose 2014 re-election campaign was managed by Gill; McPherson, a former Rutherford mayor and Bergen County freeholder, spent years as an aide to the late Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-Paterson), another Gill confidant.
Marley, meanwhile, is the president of BlueWaveNJ, a leading progressive activist group.
