Perspective
When the 40-district legislative map was created in 1973, the 36th district consisted of southern Bergen County starting at the south end in North Arlington then north along the Passaic River to Garfield and a spur to Bogota via Carlstadt, Moonachie, Ridgefield, Fairview, Palisades Park, and Ridgefield Park.[7] In the 1981 redistricting, the city of Passaic joined the district as did Wood-Ridge, Teterboro, and South Hackensack; Fairview, Palisades Park, Ridgefield Park, and Bogota were moved to other districts during this time.[8] The Bergen County portion of the district was reduced in the 1991 redistricting leaving only municipalities south of Wallington and Carlstadt in the district; in addition to Passaic remaining, Essex County's Nutley and Belleville were added to the district.[9] Garfield, Wood-Ridge, and Moonachie were reintroduced to the district in the 2001 redistricting though Belleville was moved to the 28th district at this point.[10]
In December 2017, Marlene Caride was nominated by incoming Governor Phil Murphy to head the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, a cabinet-level position; she resigned January 16, 2018, to take the position on an acting basis and was confirmed to the post on June 7.[11][12][13] Democratic committee members in Bergen and Passaic Counties unanimously selected Clinton Calabrese as her replacement; he was sworn in on February 8.[14]
