Who wants to be a House member?

Count Fulop Out (0.00 / 0)

the word around Jersey City is that he is interested, but there are more pressing local issues he wants to address.

if not Fulop, then who? (0.00 / 0)

Are there any other progressive Democrats in the district who could be recruited to challenge Sires and Vas in the primary?

What is HCDFA's opinion of State Senator Joe Doria?  He was shafted after the 2001 election when Sires was made Speaker of the Assembly even though he was in line for the position.  Then, Doria lost his Assembly seat in 2003 as a result of the pissing match between Menendez and Cunningham, which resulted in Cunningham, Lou Manzo, and Anthony Chiappone defeating the Doria slate in the primary that year.  He was only able to return to Trenton after Cunningham's death in 2004.  I wonder if he could be convinced to break himself free from the clutches of the Hudson County Democratic machine.

Vas is only slightly preferable to Sires as he pushed aside a progressive female Democratic incumbent, Arlene Friscia, to claim his Assembly seat in 2001.  It would be great if a better option could be found.  I would like to learn more about Steven Fulop before giving up on him.

Arlene Friscia (0.00 / 0)

Does having run as a GOP candidate in the general election after losing the primary to Vas remove Arlene Friscia from consideration?  Would she run?

It was 2003.  Going into the primary without MCDO help she had only raised $128,480.  Vas, as challenger, raised $243,450 with the party's help.
