Galiano George Addonizio (December 11, 1899 – March 1976) was an American Republican Party politician from New Jersey. He was born in Naples, Italy and emigrated to the United States when he was five months old. He attended Newton Street Grammar School and Barringer High School, both in Newark. He was a graduate of Cornell University and Harvard University Law School. In 1956, Addonizio became a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from New Jersey's 10th district against four-term incumbent Peter W. Rodino. He ran as a staunch supporter of President Dwight Eisenhower, who headed the Republican ticket that year. He also shared the last name of Hugh Addonizio, the popular Democratic Congressman in the neighboring 11th district who was seeking re-election. George Addonizio and Hugh Addonizio were not related. He won the Republican primary with 82% of the vote against James E. Serritella, Jr.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=744221 )〕 In the General Election, Rodino was re-elected by 15,550 votes, 71,311 (56.12%) to 55,761 (43.88%),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=403606 )〕〔 Addonizio sought a rematch against Rodino in 1958. He made a campaign issue out of special legislation Rodino pushed through the House that would provide an appropriation of $1,540 to a Belleville couple who traveled to France in 1956 to visit the grave of their son, who was killed in World War II -- only to find that the U.S. Army sent them to the wrong place. Rodino argued that constituent service was part of the job. Rodino won by 27,536 votes, 60,482 (63.90%) to 32,946 (34.81%).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=397703 )〕 In 1961, Addonizio ran for Governor of New Jersey as an Independent, one of two Essex County Republicans to do so. (The other was Reinhardt V. Metzger, a former Assemblyman. Addonizio finished seventh in a field of nine candidates, receiving just 2,462 votes -- about one tenth of one percent statewide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=174474 )〕 Addonizio was elected Belleville Councilman At-Large in 1962. In 1964, Belleville voters recalled Addonizio. Later that year, Addonizio's wife, Solidea Cherubini Addonizio, lost a bid for a Council seat. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「G. George Addonizio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
