Corzine adds four campaign stops in 39th today

Back from Portugal, Governor Jon Corzine has added four extra stops to his schedule today – all in the 39th district, where Democrats think they have a shot at ousting three longtime Republican legislators.

Corzine, who was in Bergen County earlier this morning for a Bergen County Democratic Organization breakfast and two labor rallies, will return at 4:15 PM for stops in Northvale, Old Tappan, Emerson and Demarest.

In District 39, Gerald Cardinale, a Republican State Senator since 1981, faces Democrat Joseph Ariyan.  Democrats also think they have a shot at defeating the two Assembly Republicans, John Rooney and Charlotte Vandervalk; their candidates are River Edge Councilwoman Esther Fletcher and Dumont Councilman Carl Manna. 

The Governor also had stops scheduled today in Monmouth and Essex counties.  He’ll be in Districts 12 and 14 tomorrow.
