Assemblywoman Connie Wagner (D-Paramus) has shot down rumors that she will challenge Rep. Garrett in this year’s election. Oh well – she would have presented a strong challenge to Garrett. She is an experienced and respected legislator. I have spoken to her a number of times; she is charming and charismatic. There is still time for someone to come forward though.

Wagner rules out challenge to Garrett
There have been rumors that Assemblywoman Connie Wagner (D-Paramus) might take the plunge. No way, she says.
“I need to get a little more standing here [in the Assembly], and I enjoy what I’m doing,” she said. “I’m not ruling it out for the future.”
Despite a well-financed and spirited challenge by blind rabbi/psychologist Dennis Shulman last year, Garrett, who is considered the most conservative member of the New Jersey congressional delegation, easily won reelection. Attorney Camille Abate, who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination to challenge Garrett in 2006 and 2008, may have a clear path to be the nominee this year.
Personally, I would prefer someone with a more balanced approach to government, someone who listens to all sides,” she said. “And I don’t think he listens to all sides.”
