	Nicholas Asselta \| Politics NJ
		This press conference, held in district 1 where state Sen. Nicholas Asselta is in a re-election tussle with challenger Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew, featured Senate Minority Leader Leonard Lance, Assembly Minority Leader Alex DeCroce, Asselta and his running mates, Michael J. Donohue and Norris Clark.
		The trouble for Asselta is an attack he leveled at Van Drew this week contains a factual error, which Van Drew quickly seized on as an example of his opponent’s reluctance to master detail – and worse.
		State Sen. Nicholas Asselta has run with labor support in the past, and his close friend, AFL-CIO President Charles Wowkanech, wants his union to endorse the Cumberland County Republican again.

	THREE ARTICLES ON EXTENSION OF ROUTE 55 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Asselta said a short-term option may be to use a patchwork of existing roads and a railroad right-of-way to connect Route 55 and the Parkway north of Route 83.
		Assemblyman Nicholas Asselta, R-Cumberland/Cape May/Atlantic, sponsor of the resolution along with fellow Dist. 1 Assemblyman John Gibson, Republican, said that the road's completion is necessary to keep people going to the Jersey Shore rather than opting to travel to Delaware or Maryland.
		The area around Routes 42 and 55 and I-295 has been expanded by the DOT, Asselta said, and once people from Philadelphia are out of their home environment and on Route 55, "they're home free." Asselta said that the expanded route is also necessary in case shore towns need to be evacuated.

		Asselta said that “there is plenty of good talent in Cape May County, and balance is important in this district.” Although he declined to speculate on candidates, one Republican insider pointed to Avalon Mayor Martin Pagliughi and Upper Township Mayor Rich Palombo as possible candidates for the Assembly.
		Asselta - who entered the state Assembly by appointment in 1995 - is one of only two Senate candidates running unopposed in New Jersey.

	GREEN HIGHWAYS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		State Sen. Nicholas Asselta, R-Cape May, Cumberland, noted that fact recently as he stood on a bridge over a Middle Township creek and promoted a bill he plans to introduce next month that would make the state Department of Transportation also stop using herbicides on its roads.
		Asselta has support on that point from a Democratic colleague, who is co-sponsoring his bill, and from a group of environmentalists who joined him on the bridge to explain why this move makes sense.
		And Asselta may want to build some flexibility into his bill, for example applying it only within a certain - and safe - distance from lakes, rivers and other waters.
