Joseph DeMarco, the Somerset County Counsel, has joined Scarinci Hollenbeck as a partner.

“Joe DeMarco is a Deal Maker. Make no doubt about it. Land use regulations, municipal ordinances, and politics are often central to the success of New Jersey real estate transactions, areas in which Joe brings extensive experience,” said Donald Scarinci, the managing partner. “His hands-on redevelopment experience, industry insight, and commitment to public service are a tremendous asset to the firm.”

DeMarco became Somerset County Democratic vice chairman in 2022 after Zenon Christodoulou resigned to join the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.  He is a former Bernardsville councilman who served as administrator in Bayonne and West New York.

“Having worked both in government and alongside private developers, I’ve seen firsthand how complex and time-sensitive redevelopment projects can be,” said DeMarco. “Joining Scarinci Hollenbeck’s Real Estate team gives me the opportunity to put that experience to work in a way that helps clients navigate challenges and achieve their vision for transformative projects. I am excited to bring my unique perspective to the team.”

A leading environmental group endorsed Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) for governor on Wednesday, according to an announcement.

The NRDC Action Fund, the political arm of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said Sherrill is the better candidate to make communities flood-resistant, address pollution, and lower utility costs in the state. The fund said Sherrill will hold regional grid operator PJM Interconnection responsible for mismanagement (a claim PJM has disputed), and protect the state’s open spaces.

“Mikie Sherrill will tackle rising electric bills for New Jersey families by rapidly expanding cleaner, cheaper energy sources and creating the good-paying jobs that come with them,” said Manish Bapna, the president and CEO of the NRDC Action Fund. “She will fight to clean up polluted land, water, and air across the Garden State. We’re proud to stand with Mikie Sherrill, who has shown she can work across the aisle to get things done.”

Sherrill faces Republican Jack Ciattarelli in the race to succeed Democratic term-limited Gov. Phil Murphy. Mail-in voting has already begun.

“I am honored to have the support of the NRDC Action Fund as we build the largest possible coalition to win in November,” Sherrill said. “New Jerseyans are struggling to keep up with out-of-control energy costs. That’s why on Day One, I am declaring a State of Emergency on Utility Costs. I’ll also significantly build out cleaner and cheaper power generation, such as solar and battery storage, to bring families’ costs down.”

The NRDC Action Fund credited Sherrill with supporting the Land and Water Conservation Fund and flood mitigation efforts like the Peckman River Army Corps initiative.
