Thursday is set to be a busy day in
Plainfield politics.
LINDA CARTER SWEARING-IN
Plainfield's own Wonder Woman Linda Carter is expected to be sworn in as New Jersey's newest Assemblywoman when the Assembly convenes on Thursday, May 24.MILLS-RANSOME FUNDRAISER
Carter, who is currently serving as a Union County Freeholder, will take the seat made vacant by the passing of longtime Plainfield political power Assemblyman Jerry Green.
Carter will resign the Freeholder seat to move to the Assembly, meaning that the Union County Democratic Committee will now have to convene a special convention to fill her seat on the Freeholder board until the November general election.
Also on Thursday, Wards 2/3 candidate Joylette Mills-Ransome will be fêted at a cocktail reception fundraiser at the home of Mayor Adrian and First Lady Amelia Mapp.
While the invitation lists the Mapps as hosts for the event, the cosponsors are political heavyweights Sen. Nick Scutari of Linden and Assemblyman Jamel Holley of Roselle.
In keeping with the heft of the sponsors, the invitation suggests $300 and $500 donations. (It is longstanding custom among those who have supported Mayor Mapp and others on the ticket, to be welcome at these events and make a contribution that fits their circumstances.)
The reception is from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. St. George Manor, the home of Mayor Adrian and First Lady Amelia Mapp, is at 535 West 8th Street. Parking is on the street. Please be mindful of the neighbors' driveways.
