(1909–1975) and Theresa E. (née Moran) Giblin in East Orange. His father, a labor leader, served as a New Jersey state senator from 1966 to 1968 and as an Essex County freeholder after moving from County Roscommon, Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography )〕 Giblin was raised in Newark and attended Seton Hall Preparatory School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thomas P. Giblin 2014 Honorary Grand Marshal )〕 He served in the New Jersey Air National Guard from 1966 to 1972, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant.〔 He also attended Seton Hall University where he received a B.A. in political science. He has also partaken in some post-graduate studies at Seton Hall and Rutgers University〔(Assemblyman Giblin's legislative web page ), New Jersey Legislature. Accessed April 11, 2008.〕 In 1973, at the time a West Caldwell resident, Giblin lost , a bid for the Assembly from the 25th District. His Republican opponents were Thomas H. Kean and Jane Burgio. He previously served as a member of the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders 1977 to 1978 and again from 1982 to 1990 . Giblin served on the New Jersey Real Estate Commission from 1979 to 82.〔 In 1990, he was elected Essex County Surrogate (probate judge) defeating incumbent Bob Cottle. from 1990-1993. He served as the county surrogate until resigning in 1993 to run for Essex County Executive. In a the June primary election following the resignation of Thomas J. D'Alessio who was eventually convicted for bribery and extortion, Giblin and East Orange mayor Cardell Cooper battled to a tie of 22,907 votes each. A judge decided in August that Cooper would be the Democratic nominee (he would lose to Republican James W. Treffinger in the general election). In 2002, he again ran for County Executive facing Freeholder Board President Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. in the primary. Giblin accused DiVincenzo of being the focus of a federal inquiry; DiVincenzo got then-U.S. Attorney Chris Christie to specifically state that he was not the focus of any probe. Both campaigns spent a total of $4.2 million (in 2015 dollars) in what is the 13th most-expensive local race in the state's history; ultimately DiVincenzo defeated Giblin and won the general election. He was a longtime chairman of the Essex County Democratic Committee serving from 1993 to 2003. In 1997, Giblin gave then-Woodbridge Township mayor Jim McGreevey the county organization line in that year's gubernatorial primary election. As the Democratic nominee traditionally chooses the next chairman of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee, McGreevey nominated Giblin to serve as the head of the state party that year. Giblin served as such from 1997 to 2001.〔 He was the campaign chair of McGreevey's successful campaign in the 2001 gubernatorial election. In December 1996, Giblin was a member of the New Jersey State Electoral College, one of 15 electors casting their votes for the Clinton/Gore ticket following the 1996 presidential election.〔(1996 Electoral College Votes ), accessed December 21, 2006〕 He was a member of the 2001 New Jersey Apportionment Commission, the group charged with redrawing the lines of the state's legislative districts following the 2000 Census.
