Wisniewski Statement on LIUNA's endorsement of Christie

(Trenton)- Today, the Laborers International Union of North America announced its endorsement of Governor Christie's campaign for re-election.  Assemblyman John Wisniewski, Chairman of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee, released the following statement:

"The endorsement by NJ LIUNA of Governor Chris Christie's campaign for re-election was probably set in stone when the governor reappointed Ray Pocino as a Commissioner of the Port Authority.  While I am sure Governor Christie is grateful for Mr. Pocino returning the favor, the electoral impact of LIUNA’s endorsement has historically been mixed at best.   The fact remains that this governor’s policies have hurt the working people of New Jersey.  We look forward to showing a contrast between the failed administration of this governor and what our Democratic nominee will do for New Jersey’s middle class as governor in 2014."
