Worthy Receives Endorsements
Mayoral candidate Walker Worthy Jr. received an endorsement from John E. Harmon Sr., a former Trenton mayoral candidate.
“Walker has proven administrative and management skills, as demonstrated in his capacity as Mercer County Deputy Clerk for 11 years,” Harmon said. “I believe Walker has the attitude to identify and assemble the best talent in his administration to lead Trenton forward.”
Harmon’s endorsement comes after Worthy received the endorsement of the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters. He has also received the endorsement of County Executive Brian Hughes, Former Mercer County Executive Bob Prunetti, Sheriff Jack Kemler, Freeholders Anthony Verrelli, Ann Cannon and Pat Colavita Jr., Former Freeholder Keith Hamilton, County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello, Former Trenton Mayor Douglas Palmer, and Former Councilman Manny Segura.
Worthy also received an endorsement from the Old Timers Association of Trenton, also known as the Liberians, which has over 300 members who frequently participate in community cleanups and literacy initiatives.
“We need a mayor who will hit the ground running, who is knowledgeable about the issues affecting the livelihood of Trentonians,” Association President Hector Weah said. “We are talking about a safe community, we are talking about competitive schools, we are talking about competitive jobs, we are talking about medical care and collaboration with law enforcement and the community at large. Members of this organization felt that we need a Mayor strong enough, knowledgeable enough, and ready to hit the ground running, and that is none other than our incoming mayor, Mr. Walker Worthy.”
