Wisniewski Statement on Star Ledger Account of Republican Dirty Tricks

February 17, 2012

(Trenton) New Jersey Democratic State Committee Chairman John Wisniewski issued the following statement regarding today's Star Ledger story, which detailed accounts of members of Chris Christie’s New Jersey GOP “lurking outside their [NJEA's] offices in hooded sweatshirts and knit caps.” These operatives included a former member of Christie’s administration.

"If we are to have a real discussion about how to educate our children, we must begin by behaving like adults. I call on Chris Christie to stop these disruptive tactics that would be rejected in a student council election and focus on these vital issues--and maybe our kids will even learn a lesson about how to have a civil political discourse in the process."
