The Campaign Team Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC) filing of John Cesaro contains an allocation to Bluewater Operations, a campaign consulting outfit run by veteran Passaic County Democratic operative Ryan Yacco.
According to ELEC, the Cesaro Team paid Bluewater Operations $8,000 for consulting, significant in this contest because Morris County Republican Chairman John Sette decided to back Cesaro’s opponents in this Republican Primary with the argument that Democratic Party-affiliated PACs are too involved in Cesaro’s campaign.
The highly regarded Yacco has long done field work for U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-9) and the Passaic County Democratic Party.
