Assemblyman Bodine to switch parties

by: Scott Weingart

Wed Apr 04, 2007 at 09:42:59 PM EDT



PoliticsNJ is reporting that Republican Assembylman Francis Bodine is switching parties to run for re-election in the 8th Legislative District.  The Burlington County GOP dumped Assemblymen Bodine and Larry Chatzidakis from the ticket for Medford Mayor Scott Rudder and Freeholder Dawn Marie Addiego.  PoliticsNJ does not indicate whether Bodine will run for Senate or Assembly next year, but the Senate seat will be open with the retirement of the ethically-challenged Martha Bark.  Bodine will announce his plans at a presser tomorrow with Rob Andrews.

Update: Several sources confirm that Assemblyman Bodine will run for Senate with Mt Laurel councilwoman Tracy Riley and former freeholder candidate Chris Fifis as Assembly runningmates.

Question for Burlco folks: (0.00 / 0)
What implications might this have on the upcoming Evesham Township municipal elections?

Oh to be a fly on the wall at the next Republican Caucus (0.00 / 0)
The Minority Whip is supporting a Democrat and the Assistant Minority Leader now registered as a Democrat.  You know its bad when the GOP Leadership is jumping ship.  Speaking of caucus, I wonder if he will be switching caucuses upping the # of Democrats in the Legislature to an even 50?

Before the switch (0.00 / 0)
There were 45 Dems in the Assembly and 22 in the Senate, so there were 67.  Now, I guess, 68.

Oooops for me, too (0.00 / 0)
It was 49 Dems in the Assembly, so now it would be 50.  My bad.
