NJBIA Chief Government Affairs Officer Christopher Emigholz issued the following statement regarding the passing of U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr.
“With the passing of Congressman Pascrell, New Jersey has lost a true champion of our State and its most vulnerable residents. He leaves behind a profound legacy of dedicated public service that extends to his community.
“Congressman Pascrell was a strong supporter of policies that promoted and protected his hometown of Paterson, the birthplace of the manufacturing industry on which NJBIA has always focused. He also helped facilitate job creation and always fought extremely hard for his constituency. We send our sincere condolences to his family at this difficult time.”
