Baraka wins endorsements in Teaneck
Two members of the Teaneck Township Council have endorsed Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for the Democratic nomination for governor, further splitting the Bergen County municipality with about 17,250 votes.
Danielle Gee and Denise Belcher are with Baraka, while Mayor Michael Pagan supports Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, and Councilman Elie Katz is backing Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-Tenafly).
“Mayor Ras Baraka has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to building stronger, more equitable communities,” Gee said. “His leadership in Newark has delivered real results – whether it’s addressing housing challenges, improving public safety, or fostering economic growth. I am confident he will bring the same energy and effectiveness to the governor’s office.”
