Assembly Democrats News Release

 

ALBANO, MILAM, RILEY & WAGNER AIM TO HELP ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENTS

(TRENTON) – Assembly members Nelson T. Albano, Matthew W. Milam, Celeste Riley and Connie Wagner are looking to protect assisted living residents from being discharged against their will because they pay with Medicaid.

“It’s appalling – yet also apparently reality - that assisted living facilities would break the trust they have with elderly patients who believed investing what they had left of their life-savings would bring them quality care for years to come,” said Albano (D-Cumberland/Atlantic/Cape May). “We can and must do more to ensure peace of mind for elderly residents who otherwise face the threat of being tossed onto the street destitute.”

Senate GOP eyes Van Drew, Whelan

Two '09 State Assembly races are pivotal for Republicans as they seek to win back control of the State Senate in 2011.  The GOP needs to oust Democratic Assemblymen Nelson Albano and Matthew Milam in the first district, with the hope that one of the newly-elected Republican legislators, perhaps Michael Donohue or John McCann, will challenge freshman Democratic State Sen. Jefferson Van Drew.  Van Drew, who runs well in GOP-dominated Cape May County, unseated Republican State Sen. Nicholas Asselta in 2007.

Republicans still see Freeholder Leonard Desiderio, the Mayor of Sea Isle, as a strong contender for the Senate.  Desiderio declined to run for the Assembly this year.  Another possible candidate is U.S. Marshal James Plousis, who is a former Cape May County Sheriff.  Plousis is currently on holdover status while U.S. Senators Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg consider possible candidates.

The other seat the GOP wants back is in the second district, where Democrat James Whelan unseated incumbent James "Sonny" McCullough in 2007.  McCullough had won a special election convention earlier that year when Bill Gormley retired after 25 years in the Senate.  Republicans need to make sure their two freshmen Assemblymen, Vincent Polistina and John Amodeo, win re-election (they are favored), so that one of them is positioned to take on Whelan in two years.

Will Democrats pull a switcheroo in Cumberland?

There is some talk among South Jersey Democrats that Cumberland County Democratic Chairman Louis Magazzu will drop his bid for re-election to a fifth term as a Freeholder.  Some Democrats are concerned that a controversy surrounding Magazzu's failed bid for a National Association of Counties (NACo) leadership post could cost them the three Freeholder seats up this year. 

Under a New Jersey Supreme Court ruling during the 2002 U.S. Senate race, candidates could be replaced on the ballot as late as early October.

Magazzu raised and spent nearly $80,000 to run for NACo Second Vice President, a post that would have put him on track to run the national organization.  His contributors included some county vendors and engineering firms, and $5,000 from Gov. Jon Corzine.

Democrats are split this year, with two former Freeholders, Jane Christy and Jennifer (Lookabaugh) Swift, running as independents.  Christy and Swift were both Democrats.
