Statement from Somers Point Councilman / Atlantic County Freeholder Candidate James Toto
June 3, 2020
During my time serving in the military and as a federal air Marshall I exercised restraint in the most difficult of circumstances. As I watch our communities be destroyed, especially places like Atlantic City, I pray that we can gather as a community in peace and find the restraint needed to make the sounds of injustice heard. Violence and destruction are not the way.
We are all children of God who deserve a world filled with hope and opportunity. But we need to come together to work with each other to make change, reality.
I pray for George Floyd and his family. I pray for those across America who can’t open their hearts to love each other. I pray for my brothers and sisters in law enforcement and the military who work everyday to keep us safe. Finally, I pray for all of us to have the vision to see injustice in our world and end it.
The only way forward is TOGETHER.
