All the great campaign slogans are
appropriate for Atlantic City Local 24
State Delegate Keith Bennett. It is A
Time for Greatness, and Yes, He Can
and Bennett’s The One. His help-firstask-questions-later passion for public
service makes him the one for PFRS
Trustee. As you prepare to cast your
vote when ballots go out on April 1,
here are some reasons to know why
Bennett is the choice for all NJ State
PBA members.
