Paul Sarlo

Paul Sarlo

. Sarlo is the Assistant Majority Leader of the Senate, a position held since 2004.

Sarlo was appointed as state senator when former District 36 Senator Garry Furnari, an attorney and mayor of Nutley was appointed to the New Jersey Superior Court. Sarlo had been the choice of Bergen County Democratic Organization Chairman Joe Ferriero to succeed Furnari. [Gohlke, Josh. "Wood-Ridge mayor sworn in as senator; Democrats speed up Sarlo's promotion.", "The Record (Bergen County)", May 20, 2003. "Democratic Wood-Ridge Mayor Paul Sarlo took a promotion to the upper house of the Legislature on Monday, when he was sworn in as a state senator, replacing Garry J. Furnari of Nutley.... Furnari's nomination for a Superior Court judgeship - and its rapid confirmation in an emergency Senate session this month - allowed Sarlo, the choice of Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph Ferriero, to take his seat."]

In the Senate, Sarlo serves on the Labor Committee (as Chair), the Legislative Oversight Committee (as Chair), Budget and Appropriations Committee (as Vice-Chair) and the Judiciary Committee. [http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/BIO.asp?Leg=223 Senator Sarlo's legislative web page] , New Jersey Legislature. Accessed April 3, 2008.]

Before his service as State Senator, Sarlo spent one term in the General Assembly, the lower house of the New Jersey Legislature, from 2002-2003. As an Assemblyman, he served as Vice Chairman of the Labor Committee and as a member of the Appropriations Committee. Additionally, he was a member of the Assembly Light Rail Panel and the Assembly Task Force on Fiscal Responsibility.

In the Assembly, Sarlo was the prime sponsor of the bill creating a $29 million grant to establish a statewide bio-terrorism response plan. He also sponsored legislation to restore the Office of Public Advocate and to provide benefits and incentives for members of volunteer fire departments and rescue squads. He has also taken leading roles on legislation related to the health and welfare of women and children.

Sarlo has been a long-time proponent of the EnCap plan. He sponsored a bill in 2004 that enabled three Meadowlands communities to negotiate their own deals with EnCap. The results were three agreements that would turn over 40% - 50% of all future tax revenues.

A judge knocked Sarlo's 2007 GOP opponent, Michael Guarino, off the ballot, ruling that the outspoken critic of the EnCap redevlopment project had not collected enough valid signatures to qualify for a ballot position. [Carmiel, Oshrat. [http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?qstr=eXJpcnk3ZjczN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXk2MDcmZmdiZWw3Zjd2cWVlRUV5eTcxMTYyODQmeXJpcnk3ZjcxN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXkz "Sarlo foe knocked off ballot by judge"] , "The Record (Bergen County)", April 19, 2007. Accessed July 16, 2007. "An administrative judge in Newark ruled that Sarlo's last-minute GOP opponent, Michael Guarino, a 78-year-old agitator and outspoken critic of the proposed EnCap luxury golf village, did not have enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot."] Even though Guarino was knocked off the ballot because of a lack of signatures, he got more than enough write in votes to win the GOP nomination. [Friedman, Matt. [http://www.politicsnj.com/guarino-campaign-releases-poll-10110 "Guarino campaign releases poll"] , PolitickerNJ.com, July 2, 2007. Accessed April 3, 2008.]

Sarlo served five years on the Wood-Ridge Borough Council (1995-2000). Since 2000 the Senator has served as the Mayor of Wood-Ridge Borough. He has been the Borough Engineer Borough of Carlstadt since 1998.

Sarlo received both a B.S. and an M.S. from the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Civil Engineering.

He is Chief Engineer at Bishop-Sanzari Heavy Construction. Sarlo has overseen more than $150 million in projects and has worked with a skilled workforce of more than 200 men and women. He worked on the Route 4 and Route 17 interchange in Paramus, which was completed two years ahead of schedule.
