Misterdirect's Real Talk

In November New Jersey will be electing a new Gov. Tired of the last 8 years New Jersey residents are looking for a new direction. Let's sit with Senator Ray J. Lesniak and discuss his Legacy in New Jersey and running for Governor.  FROM HIS SITE:  New Jersey State Senator Raymond Lesniak is the longest-serving alumnus in the legislature, a tenure that has been marked by his unabashed advocacy for progressive causes dear to him. You can ask New Jersey State Senator Raymond Lesniak (D-Elizabeth) about almost anything, and he will answer with the kind of candor that you would expect from a guy from Elizabeth—a refreshing, and rare, quality in any politician. Ask Lesniak RC’71 about Ellen DeGeneres hosting the Oscars: “I didn’t get the pizza thing. I prefer Jimmy Fallon.” Or about where he lives in Elizabeth, New Jersey: “I moved from a poor area to a not-as-poor area.” Or the fate of his first run for an Assembly seat in the late 1970s: “I was too stupid to realize I had no chance of winning.” (He won.)
