Aronsohn's back

Paul Aronsohn, the former press secretary to Gov. James E. McGreevey who lost a bid for Congress in 2006 by eleven percentage points, is now a Ridgewood Councilman-elect. He was among three challengers who ousted two incumbents in Tuesday’s non-partisan municipal races. Aronsohn’s election to public office makes it more likely that he’ll seek higher office again in the future; that could be as early as July, when the new five-member Council meets to elect a Mayor.

...the Rotarian turn-out was huge in Ridgewood.

A solid victory in a former GOP town.


This was a strong effort in a formerly conservative community.

Aronsohn will make an excellent local official who could move quickly for a run in the legislative races if redistricting places Ridgewood in a more competitive district.

Aronsohn could also position himself for county executive after McNerney or another shot at Garrett given what happen in Mississippi this week, almost every GOP incumbent has to be looking over their colective shoulders.
