Washington, D.C. (November 26, 2019) — Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) issued the following statement on the death of Joanne Palmucci, Chairwoman for the Mercer County Board of Elections.

“Joanne Palmucci was a well-respected and widely-loved public servant who devoted herself fully to every role in which she served.
