Statement by Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. on the passing of Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes:

“I am saddened by the passing of former Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes. Brian’s family has a legacy of public service to the State of New Jersey and he was no exception serving the resident of Mercer County for 20 years. There are only five county executives in New Jersey, and it was phenomenal having Brian as a colleague and ally on issues affecting Counties like ours. My condolences go out to his family.”
