Mueller moves to Corzine campaign

Tricia Mueller

HOLMDEL - State Director for President Barack Obama's New Jersey campaign, Tricia Mueller started her job this week with the Corzine campaign, she told PolitickerNJ.com

"State director of the 2.0 program for victory 09," said Mueller.

Chief political operative for the New Jersey Regional Council of Carpenters, Mueller is a Camden native with close ties to Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts (D-Camden) and granddaughter of a Local 19 sheet metal worker who first started working campaigns for her father, a telephone installer who served as the youngest mayor of Oaklyn, New Jersey.

She received Corzine's personal imprimatur to serve as Obama's statewide director, and State Democratic Chairman Joe Cryan told her last year to get ready for part two this year: Corzine's re-election bid.
