Among those honored will be the late Jim Whelan, who served as a City Councilman and Mayor of Atlantic City and later a state Senator until his death in August. “We mourn the loss of Sen Whelan, but welcome the opportunity to honor his memory and share his legacy as we recognize the accomplishments of all our honorees,” said Sharon Schulman, executive director of the Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton University. Other honorees include U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-12th, and state Senator Diane Allen, R-Burlington, who will retire at the end of her term in January. The Hughes Center will also recognize Montclair State University Professor of Political Science and Law Brigid Callahan Harrison, a Stockton alumnus, and recent Stockton graduate Maryam Sarhan.

This is the first time ever that Kuwait sets a minimum wage for laborers in the private sector. The move apparently comes in line with demands from international rights organizations. The decision means that the lowest salary that can be given to laborers in the private sector should be KD 75. Laborers who are paid less than this salary can sue their employers. The measure comes after the Interior Ministry last year set a minimum wage of KD 60 for domestic helpers. The amount must be mentioned in the work contract. According to the minister’s decision, the new BANDA ACEH: Indonesian Muslims pray at a mosque in Banda Aceh during the wage limit applies to new or renewed work permits and holy month of Ramadan.

  • Hottest N.J. Primary Features a Kennedy Vs. a Pundit for Right to Face Party-Switching Trump Fan
    Set Weather Subscribe Politics Hottest N.J. primary features a Kennedy vs. a pundit for right to face party-switching Trump fan Posted Jun 25, 10:45 AM The race between Brigid Harrison, left and Amy Kennedy, right, has shined a spotlight on the race the 2nd Congressional district seat. Reliable local news matters. 0 shares By Jonathan D. Salant | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com South Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District was already expected to feature one of the nation’s hottest congressional races. That’s because angry Democrats promised an all-out fight against rookie Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who switched to the Republican Party after refusing to back Donald Trump’s impeachment and then pledged his “undying support” for the president. Political pundit Brigid Callahan Harrison, a Montclair State University political science professor, quickly lined up the backing of six county chairs and state Senate President Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester, and entered the race. Then Amy Kennedy, wife of former Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., and the most recent candidate from the iconic political family, also jumped in the July 7 Democratic primary. So there’s indeed a street fight in this district — a few months early. “I don’t think this primary would get as much attention if there wasn’t someone named Kennedy in it,” said Nathan Gonzales, editor and publisher of Inside Elections, which rated Van Drew as a slight favorite for re- election. Kennedy used campaign donations from her family to help surpass Callahan Harrison in campaign contributions, $566,253 to $158,345, through March 31.

  • Look for Primaries to Be No Holds Barred in NJ's 2Nd and 3Rd Districts
    Look for Primaries to Be No Holds Barred in NJ’s 2nd and 3rd Districts IAN T. SHEARN | JUNE 25, 2020 | PRIMARY 2020, POLITICS It’s already gotten ugly between Democratic hopefuls in the 2nd Congressional District; it’s no better between GOP contenders in the 3rd Top row, L to R: Democratic challengers in the 2nd District, Brigid Callahan Harrison and Amy Kennedy; bottom row, L to R: Incumbents, Republican Jeff Van Drew of the 2nd District and Democrat Andy Kim of the 3rd District A lot has happened since rookie Congressmen Jeff Van Drew and Andy Kim rode a Democratic blue wave into ofõce two years ago. The alliance ended in their freshman year, when Van Drew switched parties and got behind President Trump. The move also disrupted the vulnerable tectonics of South Jersey politics. The two men never had much in common, ideologically or otherwise, but they now share this: Both are expected to win their party’s nomination for reelection, and each has the luxury of watching prospective opponents spend large sums of money to bludgeon one another in closely contested primary campaigns closing in on a July 7 election. While it is unusual in New Jersey to õnd a competitive congressional primary race — or general election, for that matter — political winds shift quickly these days. In 2018, Democratic newcomers úipped four GOP House seats in New Jersey, the worst Republican defeat in a congressional election in the state party’s history. They are among õve Democratic incumbents who face tough reelections in November. It’s not surprising that two of those districts — Van Drew’s 2nd and Kim’s 3rd — are up for grabs in the July 7 primary.

  • 'Tame' Speech, Savvy NJ Voters
    January 9, 2013; Circulation: 26,962,033 5 Questions: Montclair State expert on Christie’s ‘tame’ speech, savvy N.J. voters Brigid Callahan Harrison is Professor of Political Science and Law at Montclair State University. She is a frequent commentator on national and local politics for NJTV, NPR and Fox News. She spent yesterday on NJTV discussing Governor Chris Christie's State of the State address, which she called "safe," and will spend the next year keeping an eye on the political machinations — from the governor's race to the Sandy recovery. Harrison is president of the National Women’s Caucus for Political Science, section chair of the Northeast Political Science Association, President-Elect of the New Jersey Political Science Association, also has written "American Democracy Now," "A More Perfect Union," "Power and Society" and "Women in American Politics" (Wadsworth, 2003), and various journal articles. Harrison shares some views on the year ahead: 1. Do you expect that the federal money will come from Washington, giving the state sense that it can catch its collective breath while dealing with other economic realities? Yes, some federal money will come, though probably not the entire package right away. Right now, it looks like portions of the allocation will be passed, and it is likely that the Congress will follow the Katrina model and dole out allocations over a period of months. 2. You called Christie's speech "safe." Do you believe that the bipartisan cooperation will continue to flourish on items not pertaining to Sandy? What did Christie not cover that most needs to be addressed? I think that the rhetoric of bipartisan [cooperation] will continue to flourish, especially by the Governor, because it is a political necessity in order for win to win re-election.

    To: All Interested Parties From: Paul Weborg Date: April 24, 2020 RE: Brigid Callahan Harrison - Path to Victory Overview New Jersey’s 2nd congressional district is a national bellwether. In the past 50 years local residents have successfully picked the eventual presidential winner all but one time. Most recently, this district saw President Obama win reelection by 8% in 2012, only for President Trump to reverse course with a 5% win in 2016. As the 2020 election is upon us, a course correction favoring Democrats is likely due to Joe Biden’s robust regional popularity after serving as United States Senator from neighboring Delaware for over three decades. Additionally, voter registration trends show a growing advantage for Democrats with nearly 17,000 more voters affiliating as Democrats, which is the largest partisan advantage of any New Jersey frontline congressional district. This sets up a favorable political environment to flip the seat from red to blue once again. In order to defeat Rep. Van Drew, Democrats must field a strong candidate that will hold him accountable and strip away his ability to secure both crossover Democrats and self-identified Independents. Before entering the race for Congress, Brigid Callahan Harrison had already demonstrated her tenacity to stand up to Rep. Van Drew and now his right-wing allies have turned their attacks in her direction because they know Brigid has what it takes to send Van Drew packing. Before the general election matchup begins, Brigid Callahan Harrison needed to forge a clear path to secure the Democratic nomination amongst a crowded field of candidates.
