The once ubiquitous U.S. Frank Pallone (D-6) retreated to his district for a while after the 2013 Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate when Cory Booker drowned out his competitors with huge turnout numbers in Essex County.
But tonight, Pallone crept back up the Garden State Parkway to put in an appearance at Essex County Democratic Chairman Leroy Jones’ casino night at Mayfair Farms. A source in attendance told PolitickerNJ that Pallone and U.S. Rep. Donald Payne (D-10) both attended Jones’ annual mixer.
