Pascrell's home turf came up big in 9th Congressional District race

The onetime Paterson mayor beat Steve Rothman 90-0 in one district in Clifton, he won another in Haledon by 83-1, and a third in his home city by 215-4.

And those results weren’t unique. In all, Pascrell’s sweeping victory in his home county and the overwhelming success of his campaign’s get-out-the-vote effort there were enough to swamp Rothman and provide a lesson in the value of effective, on-the-ground, retail politics.

Indeed, Pascrell’s showing had experts talking about history.

“When you look at the makeup of the 9th District, it should have been Steve Rothman, 60 to 40 percent,” Dworkin said. “But I think the strong work by the Pascrell campaign turned that on its head so that it was Pascrell by 60 to 40. A 40 percent swing — that is really something.”
