Paul FishmanTen years after he thought he would be New Jersey's new U.S. Attorney, it looks like Paul Fishman is finally getting the job. |
Linda StenderAs long as Ralph Marra approves, we'll bet you $1 she's not running for re-election, even though she says she is. Her scheduled fundraisers are to pay down debt. |
Celeste RileyThe Bridgeton Council President appears to be headed to the State Assembly; she is the choice of South Jersey Democratic leaders to replace Doug Fisher. |
Loren OglesbyThe Gloucester County GOP Chair continues to lose support for another term. |
Keith KazmarkEven if the Woodland Park Council President doesn't get the Passaic County Clerk job, he's got to be pleased that rival Karen Brown is leaving. |
RALPH CAPUTO OR CLEOPATRA TUCKEROne of the two 28th district incumbents will lose a game of political musical chairs as Essex Democrats seek to return Craig Stanley to the State Assembly. |
