RSSPublic Policy Polling: NJ Governors Race – Chris Christie leads Jon Corzine 47% to 41%
RUT-ROH … Corzine and Obama could be in some serious trouble in the Garden State.
In the final Public Policy Poll before Tuesday’s Governor’s race in New Jersey, the PPP shows Republican Chris Christie with a 47% to 41% advantage over incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine. Chris Daggett polled 11%.
In the Garden State it’s all about the Independents. In a state so dominated by registered Democrats, it has been the Independents that have been moving toward Christie. Even those that were initially siding with third party candidate Daggett, now seem to be moving toward Christie in the final home stretch. If Daggett’s poll numbers slip to 6% or 7% in Tuesdays vote, it could be a big Christie win.
Full results can be seen HERE.
Christie’s advantage is due largely to his support from independents and because he has Republicans more unified around him than the Democrats are around Corzine. Christie leads Corzine 52-29 with indies, as Daggett’s support with that group has declined to 16%. Christie is getting 82% of Republicans to Corzine’s 72% of Democrats.
As the campaign concludes it seems like Daggett’s presence in the race has actually ended up hurting Corzine more than Christie, contrary to the earlier conventional wisdom. 45% of Daggett voters say the incumbent is their second choice to 36% for the challenger. Daggett’s backers report having voted for Barack Obama by a 67-23 margin last year.
Scott Rasmussen has the NJ Governors race Christie 46, Corzine 43.
Town Hall.com adds some analysis which makes sense as to how Christie could pull off a victory. What is even more telling about the above poll is that it splits 44 percent Democrat, 36 percent Republican, 20 percent independent/other.
At this point, I can see reasons why Christie will win (voters know Corzine, don’t like him, and don’t expect better in his term) and why Corzine will win (a barrage of negative advertising has convinced them Christie wouldn’t improve things).
The exit question following tomorrow’s results if Christie wins is … has Barack Obama damaged his image? Obama distanced himself from Creigh Deeds in VA as that race was all but lost and will be a Republican landslide win. A landslide win for Republicans in a state that after the 2008 Presidential election political pundits called a “purple” state. However, Obama has made numerous trips to NJ campaigning for the embattled Jon Corzine. Imagine if Corzine does lose? What does that say about the influence of Barack Obama, one year after winning the White House?
Make no mistake about it, the 2009 off year elections will be a partial referendum on Obama.

Jon Corzine taxed his ASS out of office.
NJ Detective Harry Shortway Junior Dares Making A Run For Political Office in Vernon NJ
Five vie for three Vernon seats (WARNING TO VOTERS)!!
By ROBERTA FUGATE
rjfugate@njherald.com
VERNON — Three Republicans and two Independents will compete for three seats on the Vernon Township Committee in Tuesday’s election.
Republicans Harry Shortway and Michael Pier are running together to compete with Independent candidate Mary Ellen Vichiconti to fill two four-year terms on the committee. Mayor Austin Carew is not seeking re-election and Gary Grey’s tenure as Neil Desmond’s replacement on the committee will end this year.
Republican Craig Benda will face off against Independent Sally Rinker to fill the remaining two years of Glenn McLaughlin’s term. McLaughlin resigned from the committee earlier this year. Paul Emilius was appointed earlier this year to fill McLaughlin’s seat until a court decision ruled the appointment null and void.
Candidates Craig Benda and Michael Pier did not return messages requesting interviews.
“Trust in the government is the big issue facing Vernon,” said Shortway, 51, who has lived in Vernon for 17 years. “Once you get faith and trust and work with the people, things will fall into place.”
If elected to the committee, Shortway said his goals will be to control taxes and spend the township’s money more efficiently.
Shortway said as a committee member he would think outside the box for ideas to deal with the issues facing Vernon.
Shortway is a retired police officer who teaches history at Jefferson Township. He and wife Cherie have four children.
He said his previous experience as a vice president and president of the Police Benevolent Association, along with dealing with federal agencies, prepared him to deal with the bureaucracies of politics.
“You can’t be on the sidelines complaining. You’ve got to get into the game,” he said. “I want to get into the game.”
Shortway said he believes Vernon is a great place to live, work and play because of the residents who live there and the beauty that surrounds it. “We stay in Vernon because it’s simply beautiful,” he said. “But above all else it’s always been the people.”
Mary Ellen Vichiconti also has lived in Vernon for 17 years.
An Independent candidate, she said does not feel the current council is representing the average Vernon resident.
“I attend most of the council meetings and I do not like what has been going on in terms of representation for the average Vernon resident,” Vichiconti said. “We expect responsible and competent government for our town, which is basically a middle class community filled with hard-working residents and seniors.”
Vichiconti said her history of challenging council decisions regarding everything from the budget to COAH obligations makes her a good candidate for the council position.
Vichiconti, 57, is a special education teacher and lives in Lake Wanda. She and husband, Steven, have two children.
Her community involvement includes the Lake Wanda Property Owners Association, Girl Scouts, the Vernon Taxpayers Association, Harvest House, the Salvation Army and the Skylands League of Women Voters.
“I have no ax to grind,” she said. “I just have a vision of town where people get along better and where we can all come to the table and find some common ground.”
Sally Rinker lost to Pier in the primary as a Republican and decided to run as an Independent for McLaughlin’s seat after Craig Benda was chosen by the Republican Committee to vie for the spot.
“I am deeply concerned about our community,” Rinker said. “I strongly believe we are at a crossroads with the ever increasing need for a commercial tax base to offset the tax burden on our residents.”
There must be fiscal responsibility and a halt to unnecessary spending, she added.
“We need leadership willing to work to turn the wheels in the right direction.”
Rinker, 54, said her experience with planning, budgeting, management and short- and long-term goal setting she has gained while owning her own construction company in
Vernon for 25 years will offer a much needed set of skills to the council.
She added her experience with various state agencies, including the departments of transportation and environmental protection and the Council on Affordable Housing, along with a variety of local and county agencies, gives her a leg up over her competition.
he biggest challenges facing Vernon, she said, are “Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.”
She said Vernon is faced with the same challenges as every other municipality in the current economy. “This is the time for us to be the most frugal, to be choosy about the way we spend money.”
“I consider myself one of the luckiest persons to live and work in such a beautiful environment,” Rinker said. “Why not be able to have the perfect balance between wanting to live here and being able to afford to live here?”
“We have so much to be proud of. With expert planning, fiscal responsibility and hard work, we will see a more prosperous and secure future for our residents.” Created: 10/28/2009 | Updated: 10/29/2009

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: WHEREBY MLADIC & KARADZIC TREATED ME WITH WEST MILFORD DETECTIVES HARRY SHORTWAY & PETER VAN GILST
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
12:07 PM 9/19/2009
http://www.eubusiness.com/Members/lpcyu/nj-detective-harry-shortway-junior-dares-making-a-run-for-political-office-in-vernon-nj-five-vie-for-three-vernon-seats-warning-to-voters
It is an extremely important legal case I am submitting to the Hague Court in the
Netherlands as an individual complainant from here in the United States of America. I hope it will set an international precedent even in America people are abused by their own public elected government officials.
I am fully convinced now, that after a decade of asking the American legal governmental authorities (local, state and federal levels) to arrest and try, Detective Harry Shortway, and his corrupt law enforcement associte, Sgt. Laughlin, in a court of law in America for attempting to murder me; moreover physically and emotionally torturing me and my family in 1990/1991,
it is clear,
the United States of America is either unwilling OR incapable of taking the bold moral measures to arrest Harry Shortway and his associates; ensurng he receives a fair trial here in America. Similarly to American diplomats such as, Hillary Clinton, ironally accusing Serbia of not submitting General Mladic to the Hague ICTY, for trial.
Hypocritical America, don’t you agree (?)
This makes a mockery of genuine human rights insofar in America. Equally,
manifesting extremely gross violations of human rights against me by those I accuse of attempting to commit “ethnic genocide” against me; case in point, West Milford NJ
(USA) Detective Harry Shortway who allegedly wanted to murder me owing to my
deriving from an ethinc Jewish family background and was then married to an “AFrican
American” black man.
Detective Harry Shortway has personal “Nazi” fascist affiliations with the National
Alliance KKK group) abiding in Hewitt NJ (A town located in West Milford Township in
Northern NJ).
The crime of attempted “genocide” was commited against me only thirty minutes from
the United Nations Security Council, in Manhattan.
I, Jill Starr am an American citizen previously writing the UN about this in the early 1990s.
All together now, let’s remember the crime of ‘genocide,’ in and of itself, can be defined as either an attempt to kill one, OR thousands, of members of any specific
ethnic/religious group.

I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE, HIS SGT. LAUGHLIN ASSOCIATES AS WELL AS OTHER OF HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATES).
1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).
SGT. LAUGHLIN WAS LAST SEEN BY ME IN BACK OF RYAN MACHINE COMPANY IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOUSE I FORMERLY RENTED WITH MY EX-HUSBAND AND MY FAMILY, OFF MACOPIN ROAD IN WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY YANKING ME BY MY LONG HAIR AND BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST HIS POLICE CAR WHILE HIS ROCKIE PARTNER COP WATCHED.
THEN HE SHOVED ME INTO HIS POLICE CAR, AND, HANDCUFFING ME, HE CONTINUED TIGHTENING THE HANDCUFFS AROUND MY WRISTS, UNTIL THEY BEGAN BLEEDING IN PAIN.
WHILE I CRIED OUT IN AGONY AND TEARS FOR HIM TO STOP, SGT LAUGHLIN SAID NOTING; HE CONTINUED LAUGHING AT ME WHILE LOOKING AT ME CRYING IN THE BACKSEAT OF HIS POLICE CAR. HE PROCEEDED DRIVING ME TO UP TO THE WEST MILFORD POLICE STATION WHERE DETECTIVE HARRY J SHORTWAY (JUNIOR), WAS WAITING.
I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE), PETER VAN GILST (DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY’S PARTNER IN SO-CALLED “LAW ENFORCEMENT” AND/OR CRIMINAL TORTURE/ABUSE OF WOMEN), AS WELL AS SGT. LAUGHLIN.
1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED WAVY HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).
THIS FINANCIAL REWARD IS CONTINGENT UPON ANY FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT I MAY RECEIVE IN THE FUTURE FROM THE THREE GRADUATE SCHOOLS IN NJ AND ALSO NYC WHICH FORMERLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ME ON ACCOUNT THAT I WAS A PERMANENT DISABLED STUDENT IN THE MOST VILE MANNER, ALL WHILE HILLARY CLINTON WHILE ACTING SENATOR OF NEW YORK STATE IGNORED MY MESSAGES ABOUT IT AND CALLS TO HER CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS. .
—————————–
HENCE, I WILL OFFER TO SPLIT ANY FINANCIAL REWARD IN THE SUM OF 50% OF ALL AND ANY FUTURE MONEYS I RECEIVE FROM THOSE AFOREMENTIONED COLLEGES (SETON HALL, THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH AND FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY OF NJ) WITH ANY INDIVIDUALS COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO HELP BRING THESE RUTHLESS DETECTIVES AND THEIR SGT’S TO JUSTICE AS WELL AS JAIL.
AND, IF AMERICAN CANNOT FIND THE MORAL AND POLITICAL WILLPOWER TO BRING THEM TO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT IN A COURT OF LAW/TRIAL HERE IN THE USA, I WANT THEM EXTRADITED TO THE HAGUE ICC COURT.
In friendship and diplomacy my reputation for honesty proceeds me.
All interested party’s helping me bring Harry Shortway, Peter Van Gilst and Sgt Laughlin from West Milford NJ to trial at the ICC housed at the Hague, Netherlands
can rest assured I will uphold my end of the reward agreement.
I Felt many Times Safer holding hands with, General Ratko Mladic, than I Do Sitting Alone In My apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ USA.
As an after thought on my book. I doubt very much that I met Mr. Mladic on a ”boat restaurant.” There was no one else present having dinner. It as more like a living and/or conference setting and seems to me now to be more like a private yacht. I have never really been on one before but it reminded me of photos I’ve seen of the interior of Onassis’s private yachts.
I felt many times more safer sitting with General Ratko Mladic Than I Do Sitting At Home In My Apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ US.
Although it may sound foreign to many American citizens, I would feel safer having armed Serbian Army guards acting as my my personal bodyguards and protection here at my house in Bloomingdale, NJ where I rent a small apartment protecting me from the local townships’ corrupt law enforcement officials and if I had the finances I hire a few.
April 2, 2009 6:57 AM
——FURTHERMORE
Neither Mladic nor Karadzic touched me in any manner maliciously UNLIKE the
American NJ “detectives” in West Milford who banged my head against a police car over about 5-10 times and laughed at me while they handcuffed me so tight my wrists bled in the squad car. They were serving me with the ’restraining order’ my ex husband filed against me to gain custody of my two children in early 1990/91.
In the early 1990s, I had paid large sums of money to try retaining an attorney in New Jersey to sue the West Milford detectives (Sgt. Laughlin) the tall red haired police officer over 6 feet tall was the one who banged my head against his cop car in my driveway while a rookie cop watched!
No attorney took my case saying I was up against too powerful organizations. I even
went to Fort Dix NJ and told the head of the “internal affairs investigation department” at Fort Dix, he merely ignored me.
Inversely, the alleged most ruthless men, and, so-called “war criminals” in the world since Hitler TREATED ME WITH THE MOST EXTRA-ORDINARY HUMAN DIGNITY AND RESPECT ACTING LIKE GENTLEMAN AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! I await everyone’s comment at the ICTY.
The crime of “attempted genocide” committed against, by Harry Shortway, was nationally and racially based I was told later since many of the police in
West Milford belong to the KKK connected group called THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE
(I was married to a black man and my family is Jewish in decent) My Great Grandfather was a Rabbi in old Russia. Now, I became a Russian Orthodox Christian Convert.
I traced the National Alliance Nazi Group in Uppeer Greenwood Lake NJ in West Milford Township, to the Southern United States. Reading their ‘Nazi manifesto’ to kill all ”Jews, Russians and Blacks,” I grabbed it as it hung in a federal US post office (The Hewitt NJ Post OFfice).
I originally reported this to Detective Shortway in his “detective office” where I initially reported it to him, he smiles merely saying “oh those guys are my friends, I’ll have a talk with them about the Nazi posters.”
Their signs used to be explicitly posted in the Hewitt West Milford Post Office
So I grabbed one and called their group in the Souther USA discovering their true genocidal agenda.
I am a war crimes investigator, I testify that right in America, only 30 minutes from the United Nations Security Council (NYC), in West Milford NJ we have genocide occurring and no one listens to me!
The detectives involved were not limited to: Sgt. Laughlin, Detective Harry Shortway and his close partner Peter Van Gilst as well as former internal affairs investigator Mr. Sorchinsky aka ZORO (West Milford and now retired).
The National Alliance manifesto clearly indicates that persons ought use their powerful positions all over New Jersey, whether they be police, doctors and/or judges to rid the world of Russians,. Jews and Blacks.
When I called the National Alliance telephone number, the manifesto CLEARLY STATED ON THEIR ANSWERING MACHINE hooked into a MI,LA and other southern state exchange, that “One ought to use their position of power in the state of NJ whether it be police officer, judge or mayor to eradicate the world of Jews, Russians and Blacks!” Jill Starr (LPC)
One of the many reasons for which I am on permanent disability is that I felt coerced by the police in Passaic County that unless I said I was ”insane” I may be shot and killed by them because I’d be able to testify against them on these accounts in the future.
Detective Shortway set me up to be murdered once already by placing an ad in the local paper saying he was leaving on vacation etc.etc… it is too complicated to go into here and now. I was looking for a new place to rent with my family at the time. On a voice changing machine (as my children can attest to) he gave me directions to a house to look at towards the end of all this ordeal with him. Later I found out the directions where I told my family I was going to look at the rental were over 20 miles in another direction and no one wold have ever found me again.
This is my take on this and I am usually correct. Sorry for my spelling but this is
extremely difficult for me to remember (agonizingly painful emotionally)
I am scared to death now not of anything emanating from my writing about Mladic, but
of my present close proximity where I reside nearby to West Milford and its associated Detectives. I never feared being hurt because I am writing a book based on my experiences in Serbia and Montenegro. Yes I am fearful of retaliation of SHORTWAY AND HIS CRONIES !
**** END NOTES
Harry Shortway originally became angry with me because my ex husband threatened to turn him and his associates into internal affairs Mr. Sorchinski (alias Zoro in the West Milford Police Force of Internal Affairs up there then) for dealing cocaine in the Highcrest Lake area of West Milford.
Thereafter, the West Milford Police all of a sudden decided they would try me on about 10 traffic tickets. I was homeless then because they threw me out of my home, gave custody rights of my two children and assisted my ex husband in throwing ALL my property and clothing in the local garbage; even though the Paterson Domestic Violence Courts at that time gave me a court order to have the West Milford Police assist me and help me get my property out of the house I had lived in at Highcrest saftly. In any event, they (West Milford Courts) forced to come to the municipal building for the case.
My ex husband new about the cocaine dealing in conjunction with the West Milford Police department because he was living a Treetop Apartments during the time my family moved there when I met my ex husband back, and, when I attended Walter T Bergen School in Bloomingdale NJ as a young 13 year old girl. My husband was into drugs and bought cocaine from Shanahan a former West Milford Police Officer involved and thrown off the police force for cocaine dealing at Treetop Apartments.
My ex husband, ANdre Chapman told me he threatened Harry Shortway because he was jealous I thought he was ”cute” and Andre Chapman told me that Harry Shortway was involved in dealing drugs to my ex husband and his friends back at Treetop during those days when I was a yong girl.
The West Milford Prosecutor also used a court protected document i.e., my Passaic County Diagnostic Exam in the traffic violations case against me which he later dropped at once when I pointed out it made him in ”Contempt of Cort’ in the case for handling it and even for looking at that document which was only allowed for viewing by either myself or my attorneys in my custody case.

==========Bribes Andre Chapman (JIll’s Ex-Husband) & Brant Snell for False Statements Against Her
Posted 3/2/2009 12:05 PM EST
I ask the New Jersey attorney general to disbar:
Kridel Law Group in Clifton, New Jersey
Contact Information
Phone: 973-470-0800
Fax: 973-472-1909
I originally requested the lawfirm be disbarred from practicing law in the state of New Jersey back when I was attending William Paterson College in New Jersey prior to 1997.
It is public information any national news media group in America can prove beyond any doubt, by merely asking for it at the local Pompton Lakes New Jersey Court Clerk:
1) James A. Kridel Esq., his lawfirm, the West Milford Prosecutor (at that time between 1991-1997), my former landlord from whom I rented an apartment from, Brant Snell, his brother (joint owner of Snell’s property in Bloomingdale NJ, along with Harry Shortway and the West Milford Police Force, committed bribery, conspired to commit extortion with malicious intent against me, and also committed physical acts of terroristic threats against me at the Snell’s residence I rented.
This occurred when the West Milford police responded to a phone call emanating from Brant Snell and arrived outside my apartment. I had also called them simultaneously because Brant Snell and his brother were threatening me all day attempting to get me to leave my apartment; neither men filed legal eviction procedings agsainst me.
Sgt, Laughlin and co-conspiritors arrived on the scene proceding to cut my phone line at the Snell’s, then proceeding to threaten me outside my apartment. The police on the scene included red haired Sgt. Laughlin formerly beating my head against his squad car in West Milford NJ when taking custody of my two children from me giving custody to my ex husband, Andre Chapman.
All men involved i nthis incident malicously intended endangering my life, reputation and well being; they sucessed. They also succeeded causing irreparable and permanant emotional harm forever to my two children now adults; my son currently having a son of his own.
Both men, my ex-husband Andre Chapman along with former landlord Brant Snell admitted their guilt openly in Pompton Lakes Court before the presiding judge then.
Andre Chapman, my ex husband admitted committing this vile crime against me and my two children to gain continunal custody rights over my two children at that time, and, Brant Snell for wanting to evict me from my apartment because I would not have sex with him when I was a student at that time when I rented from him. And, owing to my police report I filed stating the truth: that he illegally entered my upstairs apartment from his house attempting on numerous occasion to have sexual relations with me and abuse me against my will through intimidation. Brant Snell also refused to allow me to lock my upstairs apartment and entered at his own will for several nights.
Harry Shortway told me he strongly suspected Brant Snell and his friend from Vernon NJ having to do with the Vernon New Jersey rapist/murders that occured at, Waywayanda State Park in West Milford NJ. Harry Shortway asked me to see what evidence I could get to him against Snell from my apartment leading up to his attic.
I did and it was very suspicous. Snell kept old newspaper clippings of the rapes and murders etc.. Shortway never arrested either man. SNell’s friend even told me he was up at the Waywaynda Park harrassing women at that time.
The judge fined my ex husband, warning both men and Kridel himself.
The NJ State Attorney General then, completely ignored my complaints afterwhich. I drove to Fort Dix Military Base complaining to the internal affairs officer who told me that Harry Shortway was affiliated with too powerful an organization for him to do anyting to help me.
The Kridel lawfirm was allowed to continue practicing their so-called “law” in the state of NJ.
More to Come on them but I was slandered forever and my reputation ruined because my ex husband had told Kridel lawfirm that “My Wife Jill Starr has a gun and she will use it.”
I never did and it was a lie!
And they wanted to either kill me and/or prove I was too unstable mentally to stand before the Int’l Criminal Court for Serbia (?)
Obviously YES!
And, I often admit wondering in the post 1999 Kosovo environment when and if:
Bill Clinton will send NATO to the west Milford and/or Bloomingdale NJ Municipal Buildings for committing egregious violations of human rights and genocide against Jews, blacks and Russians in the State of NJ and in Passaic County in general.
Interneral Affairs Official Bill Sorchinki in West Milford Confirmed My Life Was Endangered In Reference TO Harry Shortway After House Incident
Soon after Harry Shortway , West Milford Detective) placed an add in the local newspaper attempting to meet me and kill me as stated in my blog. William Sorchinki came and picked me up in his undercover police car in Pompton Lakes NJ and brought me to an undercover federal warehouse filled with federal agents in Pompton Lakes NJ USA for questioning on the matter. Sorchinski confirmed in this federal meeting (I can show anyone where this secret federal warehouse is in Pompton Lakes NJ), he told me under no uncertain terms because of my relationship with Detective Harry Shortway my life was in danger and I was to have no further contact with Harry who told me himself he may end up in jail over this entire incident. My two children are witnesses to this matter of fact.

The State Scope Of Harry Shortway’s Organized Crime Tentacles
I want to add that about one decade ago, I drove to Fort Dix Military Base in NJ for a meeting with the Inspector General, at that time to discuss my being set up to be murdered by former West Milford Detective, Harry Shortway.
The former Fort Dix, Inspector General, said to me:
“Jill, Harry Shortway’s affiliations with criminal organizations are much too powerful for me to take on at the state of NJ level; that I need the FBI to handle the scope of such an inquiry.”

Law enforcement unites behind Chris Christie

PARSIPPANY, NJ – Today, the Christie-Guadagno campaign’s statewide law enforcement team praised Chris Christie and Kim Guadagno for their strong records as federal prosecutors working with New Jersey’s law enforcement community to root out corruption and make our communities safer. New Jersey has reached a fundamental crossroads where we can no longer afford a governor who is out of touch, unwilling to make the tough decisions, and continues to push failed policies that have made it impossible to achieve the quality of life all New Jerseyans deserve. These brave members of the law enforcement community are supporting Chris and Kim because they know they are the team who will meet New Jersey’s tough challenges head on to get real results.
As the former top federal law enforcement official in New Jersey, Chris knows firsthand of the unique requirements and daily dangers facing law enforcement in our state. As U.S. Attorney, Chris partnered with Democrats, Republicans, community leaders and local officials to stop gang violence and take thousands of illegal guns off the streets. In addition, Sheriff Kim Guadagno is the Chief Executive of Monmouth County’s largest law enforcement agency. Since becoming Sheriff, Kim has pursued an aggressive agenda to fight crime, strengthen community outreach and enact innovative initiatives. The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office has achieved the unprecedented, “Grand Slam” achievement of national accreditation in five major areas of operation. It is the only agency of 3,088 across the United States to earn this distinction.
“For the last four years, Jon Corzine has raised taxes and failed to lead our state,” said Harry Shortway, former Undersheriff of Bergen County, retired Detective Sgt. Ridgewood Police Department, and former PBA State Delegate. ”It’s time for a fundamental change in leadership and I know someone with Chris’s guts and determination will do what it takes to get real results. His honesty and integrity is apparent as I have watched him hold corrupt officials and wasteful state agencies accountable. When he gets to Trenton, I know he will hold our state government to the same high standards.”
“Jon Corzine has jeopardized police and fire pensions by skipping state and municipal payments and the members of our law enforcement community deserve better,” said Somerset County Sheriff Frank Provenzano. “Chris stood shoulder to shoulder with law enforcement as U.S. Attorney and was a partner in getting illegal guns off the street and combating gang violence. I know Chris will make sure all law enforcement has the training we need and the pension security we have earned by placing our lives on the line.”
