LAUTENBERG. Senator LAUTENBERG began his life as the son of poor but hard-working immigrant par- ents. Following their example, he rolled up his sleeves and pursued the American dream. He succeeded in spectacular fashion, first as a business- man who helped start a major computing services firm, and then as a U.S. Senator with a number of major legislative ac- complishments. Senator LAUTENBERG was born in Paterson, NJ, the son of Polish and Russian immigrants who came to the United States through Ellis Island. His early life was unsettled as his parents moved about a dozen times while struggling to support the family. FRANK LAUTENBERG’s father, Sam, worked in the silk mills, sold coal, farmed, and once ran a tavern. When FRANK LAUTENBERG was 19, his father died of cancer. To help his family, Senator LAUTENBERG worked nights and weekends until he graduated from Nutley High School. After graduating from Nutley High, Senator LAUTENBERG enlisted and served in the Army Signal Corps during World War II in Europe. Following the war, he attended Columbia University on the GI bill and graduated with a degree in eco- nomics. With his military service completed and his education se- cured, FRANK LAUTENBERG set out to build a career. He joined with two boyhood friends from his old neighborhood to help start the Nation’s first payroll services company, Auto- matic Data Processing (ADP). FRANK LAUTENBERG served as chairman and CEO, and along with his partners developed ADP into one of the largest computing services companies in the world. Senator LAUTENBERG always knew that his success was a uniquely American story. He wanted to give something back to the nation that had given him so many opportunities. He decided to launch a new career in politics, and running for his first public office, was elected to the Senate in 1982. He was reelected in 1988 and 1994. After a brief retirement, [ v ] VerDate Aug 31 2005 13:12 Dec 09, 2013 Jkt 081300 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6688 Sfmt 6688 H:\DOCS\LAUTEN~1\81300.TXT KAYNE Senator LAUTENBERG won a fourth term in 2002 and was re- elected to a fifth term on November 4, 2008. Over his first three terms in the U.S. Senate, FRANK LAU- TENBERG built a solid record of accomplishment on a broad range of issues that touch the lives of New Jerseyans: help- ing to balance the Federal budget, stopping aid to nations that support terrorism, keeping guns out of the hands of con- victed domestic abusers, banning smoking on airplanes, get- ting drunk drivers off our roads, protecting our oceans and environment, and improving our transportation system. After returning to the Senate in 2003, Senator LAUTEN- BERG picked up where he left off, working to improve the lives of New Jersey families. He fought to save health insur- ance for thousands of children in New Jersey, reimburse military families who bought body armor for their loved ones serving in Iraq, modernize the GI bill, strengthen Amtrak, increase security along our railroads and at our ports and chemical plants, provide justice for victims of terrorism, make college more affordable, turn Federal buildings ‘‘green,’’ and protect our beaches and oceans. In his last session of Congress Senator LAUTENBERG served on three Senate committees: Appropriations; Com- merce, Science, and Transportation; and Environment and Public Works. He also served as chairman of two Senate sub- committees, one on the Commerce Committee and the second on Appropriations. In a place that is often plagued with gridlock and inertia, Senator LAUTENBERG was always someone who bucked the rules, stood up for what he believed, and persisted in making a difference. Senator LAUTENBERG is survived by his wife, Bonnie, 6 children and 13 grandchildren.

  • The Jersey Hustle
    December 15, 2013 Opinion: The Jersey hustle OLDER New Jerseyans may well remember the basis of a new film — “American Hustle” — that opened last Friday. It is a fictionalized account of Abscam, the FBI stinG operation in the late 1970s and early 1980s that resulted in the conviction of three key New Jersey politicians, includinG a U.S. senator, a state senator and a member of the House of Representatives, as well as several other officials on charges including bribery and conspiracy. Abscam put New Jersey on the map as hotbed of political corruption, a reputation that we maintain today. The movie, directed by Philadelphia native David O. Russell, tells the story of a clever con man, IrvinG Rosenfeld, and his partner, Sydney Prosser, who are forced to infiltrate the wild arena of New Jersey politics and orGanized crime in the 1970s by FBI aGent Richie DiMaso. “American Hustle,” which last Thursday picked up seven Golden Globe nominations includinG best movie, actor and director, is a “fictionalized” account of “Abdul Scam” or Abscam, the FBI stinG operation, which consisted of a fictional middle eastern sheikh named Karim Abdul Rahman (thus the “Abdul” scam moniker) offerinG bribes to political leaders in eXchanGe for political asylum, money launderinG and investment opportunities. The real-life con man that the FBI hires to play the sheik, Melvin WeinberG, is the character IrvinG Rosenfeld in the film, played by Christian Bale. Included in the corruption miX were New Jersey’s Sen. Harrison A. Williams, Rep. Frank Thompson Jr., and Camden Mayor AnGelo Errichetti, all of whom were convicted and served prison time for acceptinG bribes and conspiracy.

  • Polls, Media, and Polarization Have Made New Jersey's Special Senate
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2013/10/15/new-jersey-special-senate-election/ Polls, media, and polarization have made New Jersey’s Special Senate Election between Cory Booker and Steve Lonegan a must-watch This week, New Jersey goes to the polls in a Senate vacancy election. While the Democratic candidate, Cory Booker is ahead, his path to what has been seen as a likely victory has been far from smooth, write Ashley Koning and David Redlawsk. They argue that because of an over- emphasis on individual polls driven by the media, the newly focused critical lens on Booker, the divergent strategies of the candidates, and the national implications of their ideological divide, this non-event has been thrust into centre stage in an otherwise predictable election season. This election was not supposed to happen – at least not on this day or this year. Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D) – a rising political star known for constant tweeting, heroic acts, and national headline-making – was on a different path five months ago. Having decided not to challenge Republican Governor Chris Christie for the governorship, Booker was instead planning a much- criticized bid to unseat fellow Democrat Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) in 2014. As for former Bogota, New Jersey Mayor Steve Lonegan (R) – a strong conservative in a “blue” state – he had been largely absent in recent state politics and was certainly not viewed as a viable 2014 candidate. Five months later, however, the two are front and center of a special statewide race with national implications and many eyes across the country watching – and a narrowing lead for Booker that has made this race more of a contest than anyone has expected.

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.

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.
