Response by Gloria Gadsden

"This is not a superficial question of suburban versus urban voters. This is not just about geography. This is also very much about race. White voters see Newark as a dangerous, dilapidated, black city. They don't realize that investing in our struggling cities is potentially good for the suburbs and good for the state. They see a zero sum equation."
