Harry P. Pappas is an American political figure who has held posts in the Democratic and Republican parties in New Jersey and is a perennial candidate for public office in New Jersey. He was the Democratic candidate for State Senator in 1977, and a Republican candidate for State Assembly in a 2001 special election. He has run for Union County Freeholder and Springfield Township Committee. Pappas was married to Joanne Rajoppi, a successful Democratic politician who has served as Mayor of Springfield, New Jersey, Union County Register of Deeds and Mortgages, and Union County Clerk. During the 1970s, Pappas was a bright, rising star in Democratic politics. He was briefly the Union County Democratic Chairman, and the Union County Purchasing Agent from 1975 to 1977. ==1977 State Senate campaign== In 1977, Pappas became the Democratic candidate for State Senator in New Jersey's 22nd district, which included Rahway, Plainfield, Scotch Plains, Berkeley Heights, and Mountainside. He challenged Peter J. McDonough, a popular first term Senator and Republican from Plainfield, who survived the 1973 Democratic Watergate landslide. McDonough easily defeated Pappas, 28,669 to 22,032—a margin of 6,637 votes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nj.gov/state/elections/1920-1970-results/1977-general-election.pdf )〕 He became Acting Director of the Union County Department of Central Services in March 1989, at an annual salary of $58,000, but within a few months he was terminated for lacking proper job qualifications. Pappas filed a lawsuit against six Democratic Freeholders, including three who presently serve in the New Jersey State. His job was eventually restored. 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「Harry Pappas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
