Atlantic City Councilman Kaleem Shabazz is the President of the Atlantic City Branch of the NAACP.

La’Quetta Small has been the Atlantic City Superintendent of Public Schools for more than two years of her first 5-year term.

Marty Small has either been an Atlantic City Councilman, Council President and now Mayor since 2003.

Marty Small was a member of the Atlantic City Board of Education prior to being elected to City Council.

Marty Small is a political protégé of the late Jim Whelan, who was a former Atlantic City Councilman, Mayor, New Jersey Assemblyman and State Senator.

Despite the fact that the state of New Jersey wields total control of both the City of Atlantic City and Atlantic City Board of Education … Marty Small and La’Quetta Small have amassed more political power in Atlantic City than any two people in modern Atlantic City history.

The fact that The Small’s are a married couple, only adds to the accumulation of their political power status.
