“Tammy and I were saddened to hear of the passing of former Assembly Speaker Garabed ‘Chuck’ Haytaian. 

“Through his storied career of service to New Jersey, including time as Speaker of the General Assembly, a U.S. Senate candidate, and Chairman of the New Jersey Republican State Committee, Chuck grew from the Bronx-born child of Armenian Genocide survivors to a household name across the Garden State. 

“Our heartfelt prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.”
