When: Sunday, June 8th 10am – 1pm
Where: Home of The Regan’s
Speakers: Ras Baraka and our Local Candidates
Our June TDC Meeting will be the final in our “Meet The Candidates” Brunch Series before the June 10 primary!
We’re very excited to welcome three-term Newark Mayor and gubernatorial candidate Ras Baraka to Tewksbury on Sunday, June 8, just days after he filed suit against interim New Jersey federal prosecutor and former Trump personal attorney Alina Habba, for criminal negligence in her arrest and detention of the Mayor.
Baraka’s eleven years heading up New Jesey’s largest city have been punctuated with many milestones and wins, including the extensive lead water pipe replacement program. This program, which exceeded federal guidelines for lead in drinking water, saw the replacement of over 23,000 lines in the city within just under three years, a feat that was estimated to take eight years.
Baraka is also taking on the Trump Administration head on. He just filed suit against interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba, alleging she violated his constitutional rights and defamed him when he was arrested at The Delaney federal immigration detention center on May 9th.
Baraka brought the lawsuit against Habba, who previously served as President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, and Ricky J. Patel, a special agent in charge of the Newark division of Homeland Security investigations. The mayor alleges they violated his Fourth Amendment right against false arrest and malicious prosecution.
