Biography

Visotcky was born in Garfield in 1929 and attended Garfield High School. His occupation was an office representative for Public Service Electric & Gas Company. He also served as city treasurer for Garfield, was elected to the city council there, and eventually became mayor of the city from 1970 to 1972.[2]

In 1973, Visotcky and Robert P. Hollenbeck were elected to the General Assembly from the newly created 36th district defeating incumbent Republican Assemblyman Peter J. Russo and East Rutherford mayor James L. Plosia. Visotcky and Hollenbeck would be reelected five more times on the Democratic ticket. Visotcky introduced legislation that would provide pharmaceutical assistance to elderly and disabled people.[2] In 1980, he introduced a resolution that would make Bruce Springsteen's song "Born to Run" the unofficial anthem of the New Jersey's youth.[4][5]

In 1985, both Visotcky and Hollenbeck were defeated by Republicans Paul DiGaetano and Kathleen Donovan in the general election. In addition to the coattails from Thomas Kean's landslide victory in the gubernatorial election, DiGaetano and Donovan also criticized the Assembly's policy of allowing a free buffet lunch to legislators while in session which the two incumbents had partaken.[6] Visotcky and his wife, the former Lois Jean Pantess, moved to Manahawkin in the early 1990s. He died on November 2, 2002, survived by his wife and their two sons, Richard P. and Robert John.[7][8] Richard P. Visotkcy would run unsuccessfully for the Assembly in the 9th district in 2009.[9]
