DAVIS PLEDGES COOPERATION WITH DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP IN ENACTING PAY-TO-PLAY REFORM IN ATLANTIC CITY

By ACRC

“Corruption has swirled around Atlantic City for decades and honest government has been an elusive concept in the resort community. But a tough ordinance modeled on the Atlantic County pay-to-play ordinance is exactly what will deliver clean and good government to the taxpayers of Atlantic City. They deserve nothing less.”

McDevitt affirms right to pick Small as organization's candidate in Atlantic City mayoral primary

Atlantic City Democratic Committee Chairman Robert McDevitt wrote a letter today to Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan declaring 2nd Ward Councilman Marty Small the local organization’s choice for mayor over incumbent Lorenzo Langford.

Cryan in response said he intends to stay out of the matter at this point and on advice from counsel believes McDevitt has the right to make the endorsement without the state party's imprimatur.

“That decision is a clear validation of my campaign to bring big change to Atlantic City,” Small told PolitickerNJ.com.

The local chairman’s decision comes following a deadlocked outcome at the committee’s mayor’s candidate forum on March 16 and subsequent communications with the state party committee.
