Joanna Gregory-Scocchi
Joanna Gregory-Scocchi (born April 13, 1959)〔http://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?CandidateID=282299&ShowAllPoll=Y〕 was a Republican politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly from February 16, 1994 – December 1, 1994, representing the 18th Legislative District.
After Christine Whitman took office in 1994, she named Republican Assemblywoman Harriet E. Derman to head the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, where she was responsible for a $1 billion budget and some 1,000 employees.〔Preston, Jennifer. ("ON POLITICS; Enter Harriet Derman, Lawmaker Turned Insider" ), ''The New York Times'', June 23, 1996. Accessed July 4, 2010.〕 Republican Joanna Gregory-Scocchi of North Brunswick was chosen by a Republican special convention to fill Derman's vacancy and was sworn into office on February 16, 1994. While in the Assembly, Gregory-Scocchi proposed legislation that would forbid state Green Acres funds to be used to purchase land against the will of the owner, after the township sought to obtain funds that would be used to purchase the land belonging to a farmer who had no interet in selling, with the intent of converting the farm into park land.〔Traster-Polak, Tina. ("Farmer Fights to Keep His Piece of Earth" ), ''The New York Times'', May 1, 1994. Accessed January 29, 2013. "In response to the controversy, Assemblywoman Joanna Gregory-Scocchi, a North Brunswick resident, has introduced a bill that would prohibit state Green Acres funds from being used to acquire farmland against a landowner's will."〕 Gregory-Scocchi was the prime author of New Jersey's Sexual Registration Act known as "Megan's Law" and Call before you Dig Legislation.
In a November 1994 special election, early favorite Gregory-Scocchi was defeated by Barbara Buono, after unfounded allegations that a temporary employment firm owned by Gregory-Scocchi had hired illegal immigrants. A few weeks before the election, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization (INS ) agents reviewed close to 3000 records and found only 6 paperwork errors. The Gregory-Scocchi camp had always maintained that this was orchestrated by her opponent in what became a hotly contested race. In the November 8, 1994, special election for the unexpired term, Barbara Buono received 27,229 votes (53.74%) and Gregory-Scocchi received 23,436 votes (46.26%).〔(General Election Returns for the Office of General Assembly to Fill Unexpired Term: For Election Held November 8, 1994 ), New Jersey Department of State Division of Elections, November 29, 1994. Accessed January 29, 2013.〕〔(NJ General Assembly 18 - Special Election ), OurCampaigns.com. Accessed January 29, 2013.〕 Buono was sworn into office on December 1, 1994.
