    2021 YEAR IN ADVANCE 2 Message from the Editor YEAR IN ADVANCE 2021 P.O. Box 66 Verona, NJ 07044 [email protected] www.InsiderNJ.com Max Pizarro Editor-in-Chief [email protected] Republicans used to be those bankably bow-tied guys who could absorb a pink belly, and then earnestly glaze-over the eyeballs of their guilt-tripped tormentors with lectures about Nixon and Reagan. Now they wear minotaur headdresses and storm the U.S. Capitol. That’s an overload of nerdly karma gone miserably haywire, but such are the trippy times in which we live. Every year we put together a run-down on what to expect in the months ahead in New Jersey politics, and we usually manage to get it out a little earlier than February, Pete Oneglia but the ongoing issuance of real-time – sometimes nutjob – news made the future General Manager seem farther away than usual and the present all the more urgent. [email protected] Amid all the crazy political sparks, including the most unorthodox – and certainly most obnoxious – transition of power by a departing executive in U.S. presidential Michael Graham CEO history – we finally found that little crosscurrent between now and then to comment on our coming current events. John F.X. Graham Publisher Herein find assessments of the main collisions at hand, minus some of the local ones that will no doubt provide their own special parochial flavor. Ryan Graham Associate Publisher Edison comes to mind. 3 WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR Executive Board Committee Dr. Patricia Campos-Medina, Immediate Past President • Zulima Farber, President Emeritus • Carol Cuadradro, Vice President • Lucia Gomez, Vice President • Arlene Quiñones Perez, Treasurer • Aida Figueroa-Epifanio Cristina Pinzon, Public Relations Secretary Laura Matos,General Board Members President Grissele Camacho • Milagros Camacho • Flora Castillo • Sonia Delgado • Lizette Delgado Rosa Farias • Kay LiCausi • Andrea Martinez- Orbe • Analilia Mejia • Carmen Mendiola Noemi Velazquez • Nohemi G.

Tonelli 2 DEAR FELLOW CONSERVATION VOTER, I am pleased to present the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters’ 2017 Environmental Scorecard. The biennial scorecard provides a comprehensive, easy-to-use summary of how New Jersey’s 40 senators and 80 Assembly members voted on key legislation affecting air and water quality, open space, and the fight against climate change. As “the political voice for the environment,” New Jersey LCV uses its resources to elect environmental champions and support them in office, while helping to defeat candidates and office holders whose legislative priorities do not include air, water, and land protections. We empower legislators by providing background information before key environmental votes, and we hold legislators accountable for their positions and actions related to our environment. The scorecard is an important and respected component of our work. Although Governor Christie has shown himself to be no friend of the environment, New Jersey LCV has partnered with the Legislature to achieve major policy victories in the last two years.

  • Interested Parties From: David Kanevsky, 3D Strategic Research Re: New Jersey LD-16 Survey Date: July 6, 2021 ______
    To: Interested Parties From: David Kanevsky, 3D Strategic Research Re: New Jersey LD-16 Survey Date: July 6, 2021 ____________________________________________________________________________ 1. Despite the Democratic party registration edge, the state assembly race is a toss-up. Even as turnout modeling projects Democrats to have a 10-point edge on party registration in this district (33% registered Republican – 43% registered Democrat), the state assembly is a toss-up with Republicans in position to flip one, if not both, of the 16th District’s assembly seats. Republican Joseph Lukac leads with 35% of the vote, followed by Republican Vincent Panico and Democrat Roy Freiman tied for second at 33% each. Democrat Sadaf Jaffer in fourth place at 29%. Note that totals add to more than 100% since voters can pick up to two candidates in the state assembly race. 2. The political environment is favorable as Unaffiliated voters side with Republicans. It is not just the state assembly race that is competitive, but the generic state legislative ballot shows voters evenly divided between a Republican and Democratic candidate at 46% each. The gubernatorial race is also close with 43% voting for Republican Jack Ciattarelli and 44% voting for Democrat Phil Murphy and the state senate race is tied with Republican Mike Pappas and Demcorat Andrew Zwicker both getting 44% of the vote. The Republican candidates for governor, state senate and state assembly are overcoming the Democratic registration advantage in this district because they are winning Unaffiliated voters by between 14% and 20%. Unaffiliated voters in this district are looking for a change from Democratic control in Trenton as a majority (52%) think the state is off on the wrong track and 51% are unfavorable to Governor Murphy.
