State Senator Joe Addabbo Jr. hosted a barbecue in support for his 2012 re-election campaign at the Ozone Howard Little League Field. While it was originally planned solely for fundraising purposes, Addabbo changed the event, so his constituents could attend without paying a fee. He talked to constituents about local issues, answered their questions and spoke about his upcoming campaign. Among the attendees were many veterans from throughout the district including Assemblymember Phil Goldfeder.
