Bishop considering Assembly bid in 11th
Former Neptune Mayor Randy Bishop, right, wiith ex-Gov. Brendan Byrne, is considering a bid for State Assembly in the 11th district.
Democratic sources say that Neptune Township Committeeman Randy Bishop, who was one of two openly gay Mayors in the state when he served in 2008, is mulling a bid for State Assembly in the 11th district this year. The two Republican incumbents, Mary Pat Angelini and David Rible, are expected to seek re-election to their second terms this year.
4 comments Kudos to Corzine, who seems to be finally capturing the essence of politics
Maybe Brad Abelow was telling the truth this week when he told the Star-Ledger that he was “not aware” of any link between Nicholas Asselta’s vote for Governor Jon Corzine’s school funding bill and his appointment to the state Board of Public Utilities. Sources say that Abelow was not in that loop, and that Corzine dealt with his politically savvy Deputy Chief of Staff, Patti Nelson McGuire, on that deal.
12th district money scrum leaves GOP in neighboring Assembly races feeling charged up
Yes, Monmouth County has traditionally been Republican.
But it’s been a fickle place in recent times, which went for Al Gore for President in 2000 the same year it gave Jon Corzine a thumbs down in his U.S. Senate bid, where the state’s second biggest paper, the Asbury Park Press, turned in disgruntlement from the two major parties in the last gubernatorial election and endorsed the Green Party candidate.
Corruption buster seeks Assembly seat
Republicans have a bonafide corruption fighter seeking an open Assembly seat in the 11th district: Kim Guadagno, a Monmouth Beach Borough Commissioner anda former Assistant U.S. Attorney who served as the Deputy Director of the state Division of Criminal Justice.
As a federal prosecutor, she won convictions against Essex County Executive Thomas D'Alessio and Somerset County Prosecutor Nicholas Bissell. A Rutgers Law Professor, Guadagno is married to Superior Court Judge Michael Guadagno.
Guadagno will face Ocean Township Mayor William Larkin, Neptune Committeeman Thomas Catley,and former Wall PBA President David Rible in the race for the two Assembly seats being vacated by Sean Kean and Steven Corodemus.
