Abdrabouh succeeds Michael Suleiman, whose decade of leadership helped grow and strengthen the Democratic Party across the county.

"I am deeply honored and humbled by the confidence that the members of the Atlantic County Democratic Committee have placed in me," said Abdrabouh. "With a strong foundation built by this organization and prior leadership, I step into this role focused on strengthening our communities, developing future leaders, expanding engagement, and building a culture of collaboration."

Also elected to positions on the executive board were Dr. Hollisha Bridgers of Atlantic City as Vice Chair, Sajid Khan of Atlantic City as Treasurer, Barbara Makoski of Egg Harbor Twp as Secretary, Brian Stein of Linwood as Deputy Treasurer, Kimberly O'Brien of Somers Point as Assistant Secretary, with Creed Pogue (Estell Manor) and Yolanda Cooper (Hamilton Twp.) as Sergeants-at-Arms.

“I look forward to working with Walead and the rest of the dedicated members of our executive board,” said Bridgers. “We have a strong, committed team in place, and I am confident in our ability to work together effectively as we move the organization forward.”

Looking ahead, Abdrabouh said the party’s priorities will center on strengthening relationships with local communities, expanding grassroots connections, cultivating a new generation of Democratic candidates throughout Atlantic County, and fostering sustained community engagement.

"This is not about any one individual," Abdrabouh said. "It is about building an organization that welcomes participation, values service, and works every day to earn the trust of the people we represent. Together, we will continue building a stronger Democratic Party and a stronger Atlantic County."
