1981 Gubernatorial Elections NEW JERSEY PUBLIC FINANCING 1981 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission June 1982 State of New Jersey COMMISSIONERS: ELECTION LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION ANDREW C. AXTELL NATIONAL STATE BANK BLDG., SUITE 1114 SCOTT A. WEINER CHAIRMAN 28 W. STATE STREET, CN-185 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR M. ROBERT DECOTIIS TRENTON. NEW JERSEY 08608 VICE CHAIRMAN (609) 292-8700 EDWARD J. FARRELL HAYDN PROCTOR ALEXANDER P. WAUGH, JR. COUNSEL June 1982 Dear Governor Kean and Members of the Legislature: In 1977, New Jersey conducted its gubernatorial general election financed in substantial part with public funds. In 1981, the program was expanded to include the primary election. As the agency responsible for the administration and enforcement of the public financing statute, the Election Law Enforcement Commission has prepared this report of the Commission's evaluation of the program. This report presents the Commission's analysis of the public financing program and its evaluation of the program's effectiveness in achieving the public policy articulated in the legislation. In addition, the Commission addresses specific proposals to modify the program and presents suggestions for improving the statute. With the publication of this report, we gratefully acknowledge the invaluable contribution of former Chairman Sidney Goldmann and former Vice Chairwoman Josephine Margetts who retired from the Commission following the 1981 gubernatorial election. Their work during both the 1977 and 1981 elections contributed in large part to the success of New Jersey's public financing program. It is our belief that New Jersey's public financing program has served as an important component of our State's electoral process. It remains our hope that the work of the Commission will contribute to further improvement in this process in New Jersey and elsewhere. ANDREW C. AXTELL, CHAIRMAN M. ROBERT DeCOTIIS, VICE CHAIRMAN HAYDN PROCTOR, COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER P. WAUGH, JR., COMMISSIONER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The successful administration of New Jersey's public financing program, as well as the preparation of this report, represents the collective efforts of numerous individuals. Included among those is William Schmidt who, as the Commission's Assistant Executive Director, was responsible for the management of the 1981 public financing program during both the primary and general elections. Additionally, former Commission Chairman Sidney Goldmann, Dr. Herbert E. Alexander, and Neil Upmeyer, provided valuable insight and perspective during the analysis of the program by their participation as consultants to the Commission. Finally, any discussion of public financing in New Jersey would not be complete without acknowledging the contribution of Lewis B. Thurston, III who served as the Commission's Executive Director at the time of the program's implementation in the 1977 general election and through the completion of the 1981 gubernatorial primary. In recognition of the collective efforts of the Commission's staff, listed below are those individuals who, as present or former staff members, directly contributed to the success of the 1981 public financing program.

    H CURRENT HISPANIC-AMERICAN MEMBERS H Albio Sires 1951– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE 2006– DEMOCRAT FROM NEW JERSEY “I am in a good position for New Jersey and my district,” Albio Sires told a Newark reporter in 2009. With seats on powerful committees overseeing the interests of his busy upstate district, Sires has been able to champion transportation and immigration issues that hit close to home. As he said, “You’re always trying to help your constituents.”1 Image courtesy of the Member Albio Sires was born on January 26, 1951, in Bejucal, Cuba. His family fled Fidel Castro’s government in 1962 and settled in West New York, New Jersey, where his parents, who had a grade school education, worked in the factories. He graduated from West New York’s Memorial High School in 1970 and earned a bachelor’s degree from St. Peter’s College in Jersey City in 1974. Sires returned to his old high school to teach Spanish and English as a Second Language, coaching the basketball team after classes. In 1985 Sires received a master’s degree in Spanish from Middlebury College in Vermont. He is married to Adrienne Sires and has a stepdaughter, Tara Kole.2 In his first bid for public office, Sires ran as a Democrat for mayor of West New York in 1983, losing to longtime incumbent Anthony DeFino. Three years later he ran as a Republican for New Jersey’s 14th U.S. Congressional District seat held by Democrat Frank J. Guarini, Jr. Sires lost that year, but New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean soon hired him to improve the communication between his administration and the Hispanic community.

Governing New Jersey: Reflections on the Publication of a Revised and Expanded Edition of 'The Governors of New Jersey' Abstract New Jersey’s chief executive enjoys more authority than any but a handful of governors in the United States. Historically speaking, however, New Jersey’s governors exercised less influence than met the eye. In the colonial period few proprietary or royal governors were able to make policy in the face of combative assemblies. The Revolutionary generation’s hostility to executive power contributed to a weak governor system that carried over into the 19th and 20th centuries, until the Constitution was thoroughly revised in 1947.

  • Press Release
    New Jersey Pinelands Commission PRESS RELEASE November 8, 2002 Contact: Francis Rapa Phone: 609.894.7300 E-mail: [email protected] Governor Florio Takes the Helm at Pinelands Commission Commission welcomes six new members NEW LISBON, NJ - At the monthly meeting of the Pinelands Commission today, six of Governor James McGreevey’s appointments, including former New Jersey Governor James Florio, began serving terms on the Commission. Governor Florio will serve as Chairman of the Pinelands Commission, replacing Jerrold Jacobs, who served since January 2000. The six Commissioners include four new members as well as two that have been reappointed to the panel by the Governor. In addition to Governor Florio, they are Candace Ashmun, Reverend Dr. Guy Campbell, Stephen Lee, Edward Lloyd and Betty Wilson. The Pinelands Commission is a regulatory and planning agency that oversees development, land-use, and a wide range of resource management programs for the million-acre Pinelands. The Pinelands National Reserve and State Pinelands Area were established in 1978 and 1979 under federal and State acts to preserve and enhance the unique natural and cultural resources of the region. “Protection of the Pinelands has been a highlight and priority throughout my career in public service, and the opportunity to lead the Commission is an honor and privilege that I embrace,” said Governor Florio. “I want to thank former Chairman Jacobs and the former Commissioners for their past dedication and commitment to this charge and wish them well in their future endeavors.” Governor Florio takes charge of the Commission in the midst of a year-long review of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP).

  • The Women's Project Resource Guide.Pdf
    THE WOMEN’S PROJECT HEALTH RESOURCE GUIDE The Women’s Project is funded by Providing court-involved women with excellence in integrated healthcare and employment services. 1 Women in prison have long suffered because prisons and jails have often been designed by men for men. In addition, women’s healthcare—as applies to medical, behavioral, including mental health and addiction, and particularly OB/GYN—has often been ignored at best or at worst been a source of maltreatment and malfeasance. We are most grateful to the strong leadership and support of Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin or their sponsorship and ongoing support of the Women’s Reentry Commission. Thank you to Governor Murphy for his commitment to reentry, supporting legislative enactments that expand reentry accountability, and providing for greater prisoner releases during the Public Health Emergency. Particularly, we are indebted to the members of the Commission, who have steered The Women’s Project to today’s resource directory, integrated healthcare delivery system, and navigation & case management referral. Through the clear and powerful support of women’s state legislative leadership, the Women’s Reentry Commission Report was issued as a critical pathway toward improving the conditions for women in prison and upon reentry. The Women’s Project is an outgrowth of that report, specifically answering the need for integrated women’s healthcare. The Resource Guide provides a comprehensive survey of medical, mental health, and addiction treatment services in each of the eight (8) New Jersey Reentry Corporation county sites. Working with the leadership of The Women’s Reentry Commission, NJRC case management staff, and our women’s health navigators, our goal is to provide the best healthcare for women leaving incarceration and reentering the general community.
