Press Releases Black Faith Leaders Endorse Historic Democratic Slate of Bergen County, Johnson for State Senate, Cureton for Sheriff May 3, 2021, 9:43 am | in Black Faith Leaders Endorse Historic Democratic Slate of Bergen County, Johnson for State Senate, Cureton for Sheriff Bergen County, NJ – A prominent group of Black ministers and faith leaders in Bergen County came together to endorse the historically diverse Democratic slate, headed by Gordon Johnson for State Senate and Anthony Cureton for Sheriff. “This is a proud day for our community, our county, and the entire State of New Jersey. In one trip to the voting booth, we have the historic opportunity to send a Black man to the State Senate for the first time in Bergen County history, reelect the county’s first elected Black Sheriff, send the first Korean American woman to Trenton in New Jersey history, and send the first Pakistani American and first Muslim to the halls of the statehouse,” said
The eventual victor in the race to replace retiring state Sen. Loretta Weinberg, the three-decade liberal warrior from Teaneck, will not change the political balance of power the state Senate. The winner of the emerging primary in the 37th Legislative District, a reliable Democratic redoubt of 13 Bergen County towns, will join the ruling Democratic majority under the Statehouse dome. Yet, to some degree, the contest for Weinberg's seat — shaping up to be fought between Weinberg's two longtime Assembly colleagues, Gordon Johnson and Valerie Vainieri Huttle, both from Englewood — is emerging as a proxy for a broader statewide war. The 37th District is just the latest battleground in the progressive revolt against the old Democratic machine that has roiled the state party for more than four years.
