Atlantic County Democratic Chair Awards the Line to Mayor Small By Insider NJ | March 1, 2021, 6:35 pm | in City Confidential Atlantic County Democratic Committee Chairman Mike Suleiman today informed Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small that the incumbent mayor and his team will have the party line this year. “I’m tremendously happy for my running mates and I to get the support of the committee chairman – someone who’s fair and not going to be pushed around by someone’s personal agenda. It’s about performing the job – not a vindictive agenda.” The chairman likes the job Small is doing as mayor. But also, Suleiman’s reasoning for backing the incumbent went in part to impair the movements of a shared antagonist of both the chairman and the mayor: cross-pollinating operative Craig Callaway.
