The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce has expressed condolences on the passing of Rep. Donald Payne, Jr., a committed member of the New Jersey Congressional delegation. Payne was known for his advocacy for Essex County small businesses and his efforts on housing issues in the communities he represented.
"His presence at the Chamber's Walk to Washington and Congressional Reception in D.C. will be sorely missed, but his legacy of service and commitment will continue to inspire us all," stated Tom Bracken, President & CEO of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce.
