Hudson County's Dems reach 'consensus' on 'heir' to Assemblyman Mainor's spot on slate

Politickernj.com is reporting that Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and state Sen. Sandra B. Cunningham have reached a "consensus" to support Denise Ridley, a pharmaceutical employee, to replace Assemblyman Charles Mainor in the 31st Legislative District. Neither Mainor nor Jason O'Donnell, the other incumbent assemblyman in the 31st District, which covers all of Bayonne and the southern part of Jersey City, will be supported for re-election by the Hudson County Democratic Organization. The HCDO is backing former Nick Chiaravaloti, the former state director for Sen. Robert Menendez, to replace O'Donnell.

I know very little about New Jersey politics, but Steve Fulop, the mayor of Jersey City, has an interesting background. Son of immigrants, worked for Goldman Sachs, joined the Marines and served in Iraq after 911.

Menendez opposes the Obama deal with Iran.
The WH is out to destroy him.
