Most would wonder how someone like Elissa Mizzone Testa could ever become Superior Court Judge after her poor record as ALJ, her controversies, and her lack of understanding of the law and Constitution. Some would say that she is a “nepo baby” being her family was big in the "Passaic County Republican Organization" and her father was as Superior Court Judge in Passaic County before her.
ELEC records show there is something bigger at play.
Elissa’s mother, Judith, is a prolific campaign
contributor to Nellie Pou. Her largest contribution to Nellie Pou is listed
March 4, 2024.
The vote in the State Senate to confirm Elissa Testa was March 19, 2024. This is no coincidence.
Testa’s mother also made many campaign contributions to Kristin Corrado but nowhere near what she paid Nellie Pou.
There is nothing “Republican” about having a judge allow the NJEA to write her decisions. There is nothing “Democrat” about having someone pay for her appointment. Testa didn’t earn bipartisanship support. She just shed light on how corrupt both parties are and how bad Trenton operates.
