From Wally at PNJ:Sources say that State Sen./Union City Mayor Brian Stack will announce next week that he has endorsed the re-election of Gov. Jon Corzine. Stack, who had openly flirted with the prospect of backing Republican Christopher Christie, committed his support of Corzine during a meeting of the Hudson County Democratic Organization today. And we don't need sources on who he would like to see as the Senate President:"I am confident in Senator Sweeney's ability to lead the Senate, as we prepare to address matters that are critical to the residents of New Jersey," Stack said in a statement.
"Senator Sweeney has demonstrated both strong leadership and sound judgment during his tenure as Democratic Majority Leader, and I am certain that he will make an outstanding Senate President as he continues to fight for the families of our State. His prominent record as a labor leader conveys his understanding of the needs of New Jerseyans at a time when it is particularly important for working families to have their interests represented in the Statehouse." Here's another case of the race for Governor crossing paths with the pending Senate contest. Meanwhile, Senator Codey picked up a public supporter as well this week with Senator Nick Sacco. |
