A loyal (and bored) long-time Save Jerseyan decided to do a little research on the Facebook presence of our state’s esteemed members of the General Assembly, folks, and subsequently shared the results with your Blogger-in-Chief.
It’s 2014 and Facebook has been a “thing” for quite some time now. So you might imagine that our elected leaders in Trenton would have a significant Facebook presence by now… right?
Wrong.
Here are the top 5 most “liked members”:
1. Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly NJ-35 (D) – 6,138
2. Assemblyman John Wisniewski NJ-19 (D) – 5,550
3. Assemblyman Raj Mukherji NJ-33 (D) – 5,532
4. Assemblyman Chris Brown NJ-02 (R) – 2,700
5. Assemblyman Jay Webber NJ-26 (R) – 2,318
Kudos to Assemblyman Chris Brown who leads the Assembly Republicans with most “likes,” with an honorable mention to our friend Jay Webber at #2. Brown’s accomplishment is particularly impressive for a second-term legislator to claim.
Some of the least “liked” members that weren’t newly-elected this past cycle?
1. Assemblyman Craig Coughlin NJ-19 (D) – 98
2. Assemblyman Jerry Green NJ-22 (D) – 141
3. Assemblywoman Amy Handlin NJ-13 (R) -145
If there’s one thing that’s been reinforced for me from this mini-social media survey, Save Jerseyans, it’s the fact that more New Jersey Republicans need to approach Facebook with the same seriousness as Asm. Chris Brown.
Acknowledging its existence is a nice starting point…
And one more thing: don’t forget to CLICK HERE and like Save Jersey; we’re chugging along with 3,200 strong and growing.
Actually, we as conservatives should be quite jealous of electronic footprints like that. It is one way to send a message. We ourselves need a bigger foot print.
@Jim Amen.
Can you link their facebook pages in the post please?
One of the Great Secrets of District 2 is Chris Brown. He is a talent to go much further politically, and his resume’ is exceptional.
I am surprise that Chris Brown
Is likable.
He does a good job and cares !
Is there a question and answer forum set up? As I have many questions on where and what you support. Thank you.
I think that Atlantic City’s future needs more hope than the Governors 5 year plan. It needs the elimination of the AC Expressway tolls and the parking fees in AC.
