PolitickerNJ.com welcomes Kevin Patrick Collins, the son of GOP consultant Kevin Collins, who was born on June 12, and Gov. Jon Corzine's new press secretary, Sean Darcy. We share in New Jersey's loss of two statesmen who passed away this week: Ned J. Parsekian, who served in the State Senate from 1966 to 1968, and Ambassador Anne Martindell, who was a State Senator from 1974 to 1977.
