Democrats are meeting right now at the Masonic Temple in Trenton, finalizing individual member support for Assemblyman Vincent Prieto (D-32).
Over a week ago, the party bosses clasped hands across a table signaling the done deal for Prieto’s speakership.
Now, at the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee (DACC) breakfast, those handshakes are materializing in real pens to paper backing for Prieto.
Barring a tidal wave on Election Day and a major shake-up in the Assembly, Prieto has the support to succeed Speaker Sheila Oliver (D-34).
