A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BAN ON ALL DUAL OFFICEHOLDING – IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE  

Rarely has an idea had such universal support in New Jersey as the current topic of banning all Dual Office Holding, including a ban for current incumbents. Nearly every non-partisan good-government group and nearly every expert on good governance best-practices agree that Dual Office Holding is not in a public’s best interest, creates distortions and conflict-of-interests, and puts too much power in the hands of certain individuals.  Only a handful of states in the USA even allow Dual Office Holding and New Jersey has more Dual Office Holders than any other state.

It is time for a change in New Jersey politics.

There is a growing movement to call for a Special Session of the New Jersey Legislature on ethic reform. Voters in the Legislative District 37 would like to know what incumbent legislators position on ethic reform is. Present Democratic incumbent legislators voted for the “pay-to-play” legislation, although one of them is still in conflict with the spirit of the law by holding dual elective offices. 

It is time for a change in New Jersey politics.

There is a growing movement to force dual office holders to resign one of their jobs. Voters in the Legislative District 37 have joined this movement and are asking incumbent assemblyman Johnson to resign one of his jobs. He recently voted to ban such dual office holders.

Lack of respect for incumbent legislators representing District 37 voters came to its heights. The Bergen County Democratic Organization and its chairman Joseph Ferriero will meet with its executive committee to discuss planned lawsuit against “pay-to-play” legislation approved by the state assembly and senate.
