Assembly memo advises members to close district offices until at least Jan. 20
The executive director of the General Assembly advised members to shut down their district offices until at least Jan. 20, citing concerns over the prospect of continued political violence.
“Given the events that occurred last Wednesday, in Washington DC, and the increased internet chatter and subsequent potential demonstrations that may occur in our own State Capitol, Trenton, we are advising you to close the district office and work remotely until further notice,” Assembly Democrats Executive Director Skip Cimino said in a memo to members.
The memo, first reported by Politico New Jersey, follows an assault on the U.S. Capitol carried out by supporters of President Donald Trump Wednesday.
It comes on the heels of news of further armed rallies planned at Capitols in all 50 states, including one on Sunday at New Jersey’s Statehouse.
