“I am not surprised by the endorsement of the two Assemblyman for our incumbent, interim mayor,” said Atlantic City mayoral candiate Pam Thomas-Fields. “The unfortunate reality is they are financed by the same forces that attempted to hijack our local government. Their silence on the change of government referendum and complete lack of support for the No Vote speaks volumes on their complacency with the status quo.

Atlantic City deserves positive foundational change from unbought and unbossed leadership. This hollow endorsement only serves to connect my opponent to the corruption and back door deals that have plagued this city for decades. I am committed to a campaign of bold leadership and positive foundational change as an independent voice for the residents of Atlantic City. The status quo has got to go!”
