BLOOMFIELD - Assemblyman Mike Venezia (D-34), former mayor here, took to the streets this morning with union members and his running mate, Assemblywoman Carmen T. Morales (D-34), in support of the Democratic ticket.

Venezia and Morales are on the ballot.

Speaking with InsiderNJ, the Assemblyman, a member of the Budget Committee, broke down the larger implications of Election, Nov. 4th.

"We're here with LG candidate Dale Caldwell, the SEIU national president and local representatives for a canvas launch, and to remind people to vote for Mikie Sherrill," Venezia said.

Why?

"Mikie is by far the better candidate," said the Essex County Democrat. "She has a better grasp of the issues that affect affordability here in the state. She's going to protect seniors and our education system."
