A familiar face in New Jersey Republican politics is getting involved in Election 2014, Save Jerseyans.

Former Education Commissioner Bret Schundler will headline a meet-and-greet for NJ-12 nominee Alieta Eck at a private home in Somerset on Sunday; sponsorships are going for $500 and individual tickets are $25 ($40 for couples).

A staunch conservative and two-time candidate for governor, Schundler has stayed largely behind-the-scenes in New Jersey politics going back to August 2010 when Governor Chris Christie fired him from the administration, claiming that Schundler lied about a botched “Race to the Top” application for $400 million. Schundler vehemently denied the allegation.

  1. Good thing for Brett that Senator Lautenberg, a “D”, was able to pull his fat out of the fire over the half-billion dollar screw-up on Education Dollars for NJ from the Federal coffers that we nearly missed because of incompetence that stopped squarely at his feet.

    Did we forget that?

  2. Given that ‘Race to the Top’ REQUIRED participation in the outrageous Common Core Curriculum / PARCC scheme, you have to wonder if Schundler screwed up the application on purpose so that NJ wouldn’t get dragged into this federal overreach.
