Louis Greenwald

The retirements of Congressmen Jim Saxton and Mike Ferguson offers the potential for an interesting game of political musical chairs.

In District 3, if John Adler goes to Congress, look for Louis Greenwald to replace him in the State Senate.  That will open up a sixth district Assembly seat that Cherry Hill might claim, although that decision will be made by party leaders.  Most of the Cherry Hill Councilmembers are potential candidates, and one interesting replacement for Greenwald would be Councilwoman Shelley Adler, whose husband could be a Congressman.  This is a safe Democratic district, and legislators picked at a Special Election Convention would be virtual shoo-ins for the November 2009 elections.

The Courier-Post has endorsed State Senator John Adler and Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt, both Democrats, for re-election in the six district, but are supporting Republican JoAnn Gurenlian for the Assembly over incumbent Louis Greenwald.  READ
