Green, Vastine, Marks heat up 22nd District campaign



Republicans Marks and Vastine (l) are running against incumbent Jerry Green (r).


Plainfield is not getting any summer break from political campaigning.

Assemblyman Jerry Green (D-Plainfield) and his Republican challengers ex-Scotch Plains mayor Marty Marks and newcomer 'Bo' Vastine are already mixing it up online.

Though candidates don't usually get down to business until after Labor Day, web-based platforms mean that candidates must campaign constantly.

Accordingly, I am putting links up on the CLIPS blog (see here) for your daily perusal of the word-wars.

It promises to be lively, as Jerry Green faces some real competition in the November general election for the 22nd District Assembly seats (see the PolitickerNJ story 'GOP thinks Stender and Green are beatable').

Assemblywoman Stender has no online presence I can find as of this moment, but if she puts one up, I will post links to it.

Not to overlook the Plainfield mayoral race, Republican candidate Jim Pivnichny continues to blog at his campaign site (see here).

Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs, about whose communication skills Courier News columnist Jay Jefferson Cooke has some incisive things to say (see here) still has the website that was put up during the primary campaign, which is still 'UNDER CONSTRUCTION'.

Any surprises there?

I have been a life long democrat, but this year I am only voting for Corzine and I will be voting for the opponents of Green and Sharon. This is the time to send the message that Plainfield is not up for sale!!! At that we need good, honest leadership.
