Warren freeholder director launches 23rd District Assembly bid
By Max Pizarro, PolitickerNJ.com Reporter
Warren County Freeholder Director John DiMaio announced today that he is seeking the 23rd District Assembly seat being vacated by Assemblyman Michael Doherty (R-Washington).
“I believe the County of Warren’s 'pay as you go' philosophy is a model that the State of New Jersey could learn from," DiMaio said.
A former mayor of Hackettstown where he also served as a councilman and was a candidate for the Republican Nomination for the assembly in 2005, DiMaio serves as the second vice chairman of the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, the federal funding agency for the State of New Jersey’s 13 northernmost counties.
He is president of A. DiMaio & Son, Inc., a company he co-founded in 1977.
“As a working businessman I understand what it takes to create jobs, make budgets in the real world and how hard it is to live with the ever growing overburdening state regulations”, DiMaio said. “I will always remember the taxpayer when I make decisions on their behalf.
“I fully understand what it takes to raise a family and put the children through college, I understand what the average family goes through,” added the pro-life DiMaio, who is married with two daughters.

Quote of the Day
"You just don’t get the vote out at election time and be successful. It has to be a year-round communication, a year- round interaction. The governor turned his back on the political establishment that supported him throughout his political career. He was totally isolated by political reality and surrounded himself by people who were totally isolated by political reality." -- State Sen. Raymond Lesniak, on why Jon Corzine lost.
