Reynolds-Jackson stays out of Dem primary for Mercer County Commissioner

Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson (D-Trenton) says she is not taking sides in a competitive Democratic primary for Mercer County Commissioner, pushing back on an earlier report by the New Jersey Globe that she is backing Nakia Barr White against two longtime incumbents, Lucylle Walter and John Cimino.

Reynolds-Jackson, one of twelve Democrats seeking the open seat of retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing), spoke at a campaign event for Barr White, where her comments sounded like an endorsement.

“Run, Nakia,” she said. “Let’s go win this.”

But Reynolds-Jackson told the New Jersey Globe on Tuesday evening that she is not taking sides.
