William Chegwidden is running for Senate. And it wasn't long before supporters of the man Chegwidden is challenging in the GOP primary, incumbent Sen. Anthony Bucco, accused him of triple-dipping. Chegwidden is already mayor of Wharton and Morris County Freeholder Director, and the fact he's also a teacher at Morris Knolls High School leaves him open to charges from his opponent that he's overusing the state's pension system. For his part, Chegwidden says teaching is his job, not an elected position, and he promises to give up mayor and freeholder if elected to the Senate.
But ... where else have you seen this face before? Why, in a campaign ad, huckstering for Chris Christie, aiming at teachers.
Chris Christie will make sure education funding is sound.
Looks to me like Chris Christie owes William Chegwidden a lot. A lot - at the very least for helping him create the apathy that led any public school teacher in New Jersey vote for him in November of 2009. Here's Senate candidate Chegwidden, when he was Christie huckster Chegwidden back in 2009:
