Video: Wagner Campaigns at Rotary Meeting

Election day is still a few months off, but campaign season has just begun with Assemblywoman Connie Wagner (D-38) having swung through Oradell early Wednesday morning to meet with the Oradell-Emerson Rotary Club.

Wagner, a former educator and councilwoman in Paramus, spoke about several bills that she has sponsored this past year and what she still hopes to accomplish if reelected this November.

Among her sponsored bills based on Education include: allowing advertising on the exterior of school buses, giving parents the option to waive their child’s right to be buses to school, clarifying that school districts are not required to pay out of their own budget for special education evaluations for private school students in their district, and placing a 4% cap on increases to college tuition.

As part of her focus on Health and Human Services: requiring hospitals to screen newborns for congenital heart defects prior to being discharged and providing that 20% of the $25 fee for a certified copy of a birth certificate be used to support the NJ Cord Blood Bank.

Residents who wish to contact Wagner about any of her sponsored work can reach out to her Paramus office, 205 Robin Road, Suite 216 by calling 201-576-9199 or emailing Wagner directly at aswwagner@njleg.org.
