TRENTON, NJ (October 18, 2013) –The New Jersey Superior Officers Association (NJSOA) announced today that it was making a public endorsement of gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono in her bid to become Governor of New Jersey.
The New Jersey Superior Officers Association is the employee bargaining unit collectively representing hundreds of supervisory law enforcement personnel holding the rank of Lieutenant, and employed by the State of New Jersey.
The NJSOA was one of very few public labor unions that endorsed Chris Christie during his first run for the Governor’s seat. However, the NJSOA cited Governor Christie’s attack on public worker pensions and Civil Service protections as the main reasons that they want to see him replaced by Senator Buono.
NJSOA President Jeffrey Smith stated, “Governor Christie has publicly vilified the hard-working staff that serve and protect New Jersey’s citizens on a daily basis. He has blamed us for the State’s mismanagement of pension funds, and now he is attacking our Civil Service Protections.”
NJSOA PAC Committee Chairman Edward Sullivan stated that “Our endorsement for Senator Buono reflects our membership’s frustration with Governor Christie’s lack of communication with State workers.”
President Smith went on to say “We feel that Barbara Buono can bring about positive change for poor and working class citizens of New Jersey. New Jersey doesn’t need more rhetoric and late-night television appearances. We need a Governor that will work to create jobs, and to reduce the tax burden on poor and working class families.
