District 38 Democrats are meeting Sunday Sept 16, to replace Senator Coniglio before the November 6 election.

Towns in LD38: Cliffside Park, Edgewater, Elmwood Park, Fair Lawn, Fort Lee, Hasbrouck Heights, Little Ferry, Lodi, Paramus, Ridgefield, Saddle Brook, South Hackensack, Teterboro

It isn't easy. When Byron Baer stepped down for honest reasons in LD37, the BCDO was thrown all into a frenzy and it hasn't cleared up yet. That was TWO years ago. This Sunday night at 6 pm, the folks from the BCDO and the County Committee folks from District 38 - the municipal chairs that hold county jobs, will decide who the replacement will be. Hence the political jokes about the white smoke rising from 50 Main street like we were talking about the Vatican choosing the next Pope.

I dearly hope they can agree on the best choice to represent the entire population of the 38th. Not just the Pay to Play crowd.

Here is why I am concerned: Corzine says he's for ethics reform. Just not at this moment in time.

Why not, sir? Explain. Quickly, before we lose the entire NJ legislature to the Republicans.

I think (0.00 / 0)

Both Assemblymembers Gordon and Voss would make outstanding Senators. For all the talk about smoke filled rooms, there actually is a race and there is no annointed candidate like some folks imply. Mayor Tedesco would make a fine Senator as well. I think that the folks of the county committee in LD38 will choose their candidate out of a field of qualified people and whichever one makes the best effort and the best case will prevail.
