Fanwood Mayor and Union County Democratic Committee Acting Chair Colleen Mahr received the endorsement this morning from Summit Municipal Democratic Committee Chair Susan Hairston, saying, “I’m excited about the future of Union County and am pleased to give my support to Mayor Colleen Mahr to be our next Union County Democratic Committee Chair. She will take our Party to the next level!”

“Mayor Mahr has been an active, on the ground presence throughout the 21 municipalities, and I can speak personally to how she’s mentored growing committees and clubs. She will build on the strength of the Party the way she has done in Fanwood, establishing a vision that all parts of the county can embrace and use to strengthen their municipalities. She strives for excellence and will ensure well run operations that reflect inclusion, equity and transparency no matter how difficult and impossible the obstacles may seem.

Acting Chair Mahr has the experience, tenacity, ability to listen and be heard. This is required to inspire and lead with fellow Local, County, and State officials. She will use her talents, network and knowledge of Union County to make UCDC the envy of NewJersey and a role model for Democratic County Committees across the nation.”
