DescriptionOnce Republicans ratify Vince Polistina tonight, he’ll become the 9th state senator from Atlantic County since the legendary Frank “Hap” Farley first won the seat 81 years ago at the age of 38.

Farley became the Republican political boss of Atlantic County after Nucky Johnson went to prison and remained one of the most powerful figures in New Jersey politics for more than three decades. In an era when the Senate Presidency was on a one-year rotation system, Farley got the job twice: in 1945 and again in 1962.
