His announcement came Thursday evening during a livestreamed virtual fundraiser featuring Gov. Phil Murphy and U.S. Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker, who endorsed Mapp s reelection.
“I have been honored to serve the city of Plainfield as mayor for the past seven years. Together, we have helped to make our beautiful city a fairer, safer, and more prosperous place to live and raise families,” Mapp said. “In pursuing reelection, I intend to deepen our commitments to economic growth and development in a way that lifts all boats and helps our city build back better from the devastating COVID-19 pandemic.”

I hesitated, then spoke honestly: I didn’t know a single Black person who was enthusiastic about being vaccinated, and I had some skepticism of my own.
