Barbara Buono in The Jersey Sting, by Sherman & Margolin


On Principles & Values: 2009: Initially selected as Jon Corzine's running mate

[In 2009] was the first time in modern NJ history that lieutenant governor nominees would be on the tickets, and Christie had already announced his.

Corzine wasn't thrilled with his final decision, but he had finally made one and it was a relief to his whole team. The running mate would be Barbara Buono, a state senator from Central Jersey with a law degree and the chairmanship of the powerful budget committee on her resume. She was 5 years younger than Corzine, attractive (by NJ political standards, very attractive), and a capable debater and public speaker. She was a strong choice but not Corzine's first, and the governor, his staff, and even Buono herself all knew it. [Buono was ultimately not selected]
