During a 34-year career in the New Jersey Legislature, Byron Baer had six Democratic running mates that served with him in Trenton: Albert Burstein, a former Assembly Majority Leader who served from 1972 to 1982; Bennett Mazur, who served from Burstein's retirement until his resignation, due to illness, in 1992; Loretta Weinberg, who had been Mazur's legislative aide, from 1992 until 2005; Charles "Ken" Zisa, who went to the Assembly when Baer moved up to the Senate in 1993 and served until he ran for Bergen County Sheriff in 2001; and Gordon Johnson, who replaced Zisa. During Baer's 22 years as an Assemblyman, he served with State Senator Matthew Feldman, who defeated GOP Senator Joseph Woodcock in 1973.
