“I am honored to receive Senator Menendez’s support and endorsement and look forward to continuing to work with him in the future to make Atlantic City a better place to live, work and visit,” Small said.
Small is fighting to keep the mayoral seat in the Democratic primary July 7 against Stockton adjunct professor and City of Atlantic City employee Pamela Thomas-Fields. The winner will complete the term of former mayor Frank Gilliam, who resigned last fall after pleading guilty to federal wire fraud charges.
