Brendan Gill, an Essex County Commissioner, just announced he is running for an Assembly seat.
, from January 2017 — the year Murphy successfully ran for governor and Gill managed his campaign — through February 2020.
“I am proud of the work The BGiLL group has produced. Until contacted by POLITICO, we were unaware of the inquiry,” Gill said in a statement. “To be clear, our firm was never subpoenaed or even questioned regarding this 4-year-old matter. Whatever may have been looked at in 2017, if anything, was looked at by the campaign and dismissed.”
Once Codey announced he was retiring after 50 years in the Legislature, his longtime running mate, state Assemblyman John McKeon, emerged as the frontrunner to run in November for the up-for-grabs Senate seat. Gill expressed interest in Codey’s spot, according to six sources familiar with the private discussion and requested anonymity, although Gill told NJ Advance Media last week that wasn’t true.
The county Democratic committees must meet by Aug. 31 to vote on the new ticket. A vote by the Essex County Democratic Committee is scheduled for Thursday.
