Big news on the race to become the next Speaker of the New Jerset Assembly. First, Assemblyman John Wisniewski endorsed Sheila Y. Oliver after dropping his own bid for Speaker. Then, The South Jersey Assembly Democrats endorsed her. They represent ten-twelve votes, and certainly seem to have formed an effective bloc. Is there a deal to help Sweeney?
"We are honored to endorse the candidacy of Assemblywoman Sheila Oliver to become our next Speaker, because Assemblywoman Oliver offers strong leadership at a time when our state needs it most," said Greenwald, the Chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee. "Assemblywoman Oliver has been a passionate advocate for New Jersey's struggling families and will lead the fight to make New Jersey affordable again for future generations."
PolitickerNJ believes she is likely to get a number of other votes, so she appears to be quite close to wrapping the contest up. I wouldn't be surprised if the others concede very soon.
Frankly I know very little about her, so I hope our readers will weigh in. (Yes, I already know you don't like George Norcross, what about her?) |
