Democrats are running an all-woman ticket in the 40th legislative district – New Jersey Globe | New Jersey Politics

Category: Democrats

Hawthorne school board member Jennifer Ehrentraut will seek the Democratic nomination for State Senate, where State Sen. Kristin Corrado (R-Totowa) wants a third full-term.

Democrats are running Giovanna Irizarry, a Totowa resident who is the director of special education for the Woodland Park school district, and Jennifer Marrinan, a small business owner from Wyckoff, to run for the Assembly. They are expected to face Assemblyman Christopher DePhillips (R-Wyckoff) and Essex County Republican Chairman Al Barlas.

An incumbent Republican, Kevin Rooney (R-Wyckoff), lost his seat when the newly-drawn 40th included enough of Essex County to merit a seat.

The 40th has not elected a Democratic legislator under the new system of 40 legislative districts that began in 1973 it was one of just four districts in the state that elected three Republicans in the Watergate Democratic wave.
