The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce has released a statement on the passing of Michael Aron, a prominent figure in New Jersey political broadcasting.
"Michael Aron was a New Jersey political broadcast legend, the Dean of the state's press corps, and he will be sorely missed," said Thomas A. Bracken, President of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce.
Bracken highlighted Aron's frequent participation in their events, noting that "Michael was a regular on our Walk to Washington (he was our keynote speaker in 2016) and was a special guest at many of our events."
Aron was known for his work on television programs such as Reporter's Roundtable and On the Record. "It was always great television when he hosted Reporter's Roundtable or On the Record - and when he provided in-depth commentary on political happenings over the many years of his outstanding career," Bracken added.
In closing, Bracken referred to Aron as "the GOAT of New Jersey journalists."
