The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce is saddened to learn of the passing of Sen. Ron Rice. Ron was a tireless advocate on a wide variety of issues and he always listened to the concerns of New Jersey’s business community, especially from small business owners across the state. It was a pleasure to see him as a regular attendee on our Walk to Washington – and in 1995 the Chamber presented him with our Legislator of the Year award. Ron cared deeply about his constituents and was passionate about making sure their interests were represented. Our condolences to the Senator’s family and his many friends.
