Under new procedures in New Jersey, everyone running for election in this November’s gubernatorial election must choose a Lieutenant Governor running-mate no later than Monday, July 29.

Incumbent Governor Jon S. Corzine still hasn’t announced any choice. Republican nominee Chris Christie chose Kimberly Guadagno a few days ago. On July 23, Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Ken Kaplan announced that he is choosing John Paff. Paff is somewhat famous among good-government circles for his persistent winning lawsuits to force local officials to obey the Open Public Records Act.

The Socialist Party’s gubernatorial candidate, Greg Pason, earlier chose Tino Rozzo. The leading independent gubernatorial candidate, Chris Daggett, who has qualified for Public Funding and will be included in gubernatorial debates, has not chosen his Lieutenant Governor candidate yet, but may do so on Friday, July 24.
