Speaker Pro Tempore Calls Roberts ‘An Advocate for Every New Jerseyan’
(TRENTON) – Assembly Speaker Pro Tempore Jerry Green (D-Union) issued the following statement after Assembly Speaker Joseph J. Roberts, Jr. (D-Camden) announced today that he would not be seeking re-election:
“Speaker Roberts is one of the most passionate, thoughtful and detail-oriented legislators I have ever worked with.
“He fought to extend the American dream of homeownership to the widest cross-section of New Jersey residents possible. His efforts have given working class families across the state the opportunity to live in the communities where they work.
“Speaker Roberts’ work on housing reform is a legacy that will have a lasting positive impact on our state.
“He has always been an advocate for every New Jerseyan. His love of public policy, his deliberative nature and his deep respect for the institution of the Legislature will be sorely missed come January.”
