I don't take a single one of these endorsements for granted. To have the trust and support of mayors who know their communities, their families, and the people they serve means more to me that I can put into words.
I've spent most of my life in Atlantic County law enforcement, and I've never forgotten why I started: to help people feel safe. To each of these mayors, thank you for believing in me and trusting me to serve the people you represent. I hope to continue earning that trust every single day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, said O'Donoghue.
