Why Sheila Oliver, Loretta Weinberg & I are supporting Marie Corfield in LD-16
Both Speaker Sheila Oliver and Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg are in strong for Marie Corfield in Tuesday's primary. Both recorded calls for Corfield going out to voters. Do you know how unusual it is for legislative leadership to involve themselves in a primary fight to this degree? Very. But this is a solid chance for a Democratic pickup, and Corfield is a natural leader who nearly won the seat in November - coming about 3% behind entrenched GOP control (in a newly configured promising District) - and she's heavily endorsed. By comparison, opponent Sue Nemeth has based her campaign on little more than mischaracterizing Corfield in nasty, personal terms, and insulting the intelligence of voters.Loretta Weinberg says:
"While Marie's opponent resorts to Chris Christie-style personal attacks Marie is busy campaigning to increase funding for education, deliver middle-class tax relief and bring jobs to NJ.
