BREAKING: U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders endorses Ali Aljarrah for Passaic County Commissioner

LITTLE FALLS, NJ — Today, Ali Aljarrah, Democratic candidate for Passaic County Commissioner, received the endorsement of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders — the national leader of the progressive movement and a stalwart champion of workers over billionaires. Sanders’s endorsement is among the most coveted in the United States, and solidifies Aljarrah’s standing as the progressive frontrunner for Passaic County Commissioner.

"Bernie Sanders is a big reason why young people across the country are getting involved in politics without apologizing for what we believe in. It's a profound honor to be endorsed by the Senator and have him in our corner," said Ali Aljarrah. "Amo Bernie is a former Mayor, so he knows that local government is the front line of defense against the billionaires and big corporations who corrupt our politics. I'm running for Passaic County Commissioner to make sure working families come before the developers, landlords, and political bosses every single time."

The primary election is on June 2, 2026.
