Roll Call: Something to Cheer About
June 5th, 2008
Both parties had something to crow about following Tuesday’s Congressional primaries, the busiest day on the calendar for House and Senate races so far this year…
Meanwhile, in a lively Democratic primary battle, Dennis Shulman, a Harvard-educated psychologist and ordained rabbi who has been blind since he was a teenager, earned the right Tuesday to challenge Rep. Scott Garrett (R) in November.
Shulman, who proved to be a strong fundraiser during the primary, took 61 percent while attorney and community activist Camille Abate took 32 percent and businessman Roger Bacon took just 7 percent.
The northern New Jersey 5th district doesnít offer the same opportunity that Democrats have in the two open-seat battles taking place in central and southern New Jersey, but the district does include several liberal communities and Democrats say that the district is tilting in their favor.
