PASSAIC – Former Democratic Party state chairman Assemblyman Thomas Giblin (D-Montclair) prefers another former state chair for the position of lieutenant governor on a ticket with Gov. Jon Corzine.
He said if the governor asked him, he would recommend Assembly Majority Leader Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing).
“I think Bonnie is good because she knows the issues and has a leadership role in the legislature, she already has statewide reach as former chair of the party and as an African American woman she would help the governor with the party’s urban base,” said Giblin.
On several occasions, Corzine has publicly mentioned Watson Coleman as a short list candidate for lieutenant governor.
