| Description | Gov. Jon S. Corzine chose state Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck) as his running mate as he seeks re-election in the November gubernatorial election. Corzine made the announcement late Friday, ending speculation that just last week included Randal Pinkett as a possible lieutenant governor.
Weinberg, a state senator since 2005, described herself as a feisty grandmother from Bergen County. She currently serves as chair of the legislative oversight committee in the state senate; vice chair on health, human services and senior citizens; and vice chair on state government. During her introduction as Corzine’s running mate, Weinberg touted her experience challenging tobacco companies, insurers and gun manufacturers. “I have fought for ethics reform and open, transparent government,” she said in a statement.
Weinberg’s nomination follows last Monday’s Republican pick, Monmouth County Sheriff Kimberly Guadagno, for the lieutenant governor post. |
