As a racist mystery mailer targeting candidates in the Edison School Board contest makes the rounds on Facebook and among insider text messages, Middlesex County Democratic Chairman Kevin McCabe today released a statement of condemnation.

“I am profoundly disgusted by the racist campaign flyer circulating in Edison today,” said McCabe. “This kind of disgraceful message has absolutely no place in Middlesex County or in New Jersey.  It is absolutely antithetical to everything we stand for as New Jerseyans and as Americans.  

“I call on every single candidate running in this November’s election in Edison, regardless of party, to immediately denounce this horrific flyer in the strongest terms and remember that we are, first and foremost, a state and a community that has always prided itself on our diversity,” McCabe added.
