That caused the palace guards, once fiercely loyal to the powerful witch, to drop to their knees and Oproclaim, “Hail to Dorothy, the Wicked Witch is dead.” Everybody wants to be with the winner, espe- cially in New Jersey. That’s why political power is ephemeral, on a good day. The way to know that is this: start writing down the names of every person who served as chief of staff to the governor of New Jersey.

Dear Ms. White I am a founding partner of Wigdor LLP, a New York City based employment litigation firm.

In developing our list, we eliminated anyone who currently holds elected office, as well as the Judiciary. This precludes some people, Assemblyman/Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan, for example. We also eliminated the living former Governors, United States Senators, and, of course, Bill Gormley: we believe this particular group remains highly influential and well-respected. This is an Insiders List. We looked at policy makers, party leaders, fundraisers, lobbyists, labor unions, businesses, and associations and have assembled the ultimate list of New Jerseyans with clout, with an impact on politics and government in the Garden State. We selected names based on a fairly unscientific curve: we allocated spaces on this list for a dozen different categories within the New Jersey political community -- so #11 on the list of important fundraisers or donors doesn’t make the list, but the most influential congressional staffer does.

    The Powerful WOMEN of New Jersey SENATOR WEINBERG’S 2018 WOMEN POWER LIST MAKE OUR STATE A BETTER PLACE! A Message From Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg Many of the powerful women of New Jersey are well known. Others are not. They are the cabinet members who run the large and complex bureaucracies that make up our state government. They are the union leaders who advocate for our workers. They are behind-the-scenes schedulers, office managers, and Chiefs of Staff for some of New Jersey’s leaders. They are the lobbyists and influencers who articulate the many policies of New Jersey’s businesses and non-profits. They are business leaders, healthcare leaders, fundraisers, and political leaders. But most important, they are advocates for all of us. As this list grows each year, let’s all celebrate their influence and their increasing stature. The “powerful women” of New Jersey make our state a better place.
