DiVincenzo Jr. (born 17 May 1952), widely known as Joe D., has been the County Executive of Essex County, New Jersey since 2003. Background and CareerDiVincenzo attended Jersey City State College. where he played football for the Knights graduating in 1976 with a degree in public health.[1][2] DiVincenzo was first elected to the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders in 1990. He served as the board's president for eight terms.[3] Prior to becoming freeholder, DiVincenzo held public jobs in Essex County as a parks supervisor, teacher, and athletics coordinator.[4] County ExecutiveDiVincenzo was elected county executive in 2002 and was reelected for a fourth term in November 2014. He received the backing of the state's Democratic establishment including Bob Menendez, Cory Booker, Stephen Sweeney, Vincent Prieto, Donald Payne Jr. and Steve Fulop.[5] DiVincenzo announced in December 2017 that he would be running for a fifth term of office.[6] He won the 2018 election with 80% of votes cast.[7] Double dippingDouble dipping is the practice of simultaneously holding multiple elected positions or to being employed by and collecting retirement benefits from the same public authority at the same time.[8]In 2011, DiVincenzo while still in office began to collect pension as County Executive. He justified the move by claiming that it is legal and a good decision for his family.[4][9][10] Statewide influenceDiVincenzo is generally considered to be a power broker and political boss of the Essex County political machine, exerting much influence on county and state politics.[11] In 2011 in The New York Times, New Jersey State Senator Kevin O'Toole (R-Essex) is quoted as saying that "in terms of Democratic politics, Joe D. is becoming the king of North Jersey."[12] Crossing party lines, he endorsed Republican Governor Chris Christie in his successful 2013 re-election bid.[13][14] Campaign spending violations investigationIn October 2013, questions arose regarding DiVincenzo's campaign spending. The state Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC), in 16-count complaint, alleged that he failed to properly report nearly $72,000 in campaign expenditures and improperly spent more than $16,000.[15][16] In May 2014, it was the commission announced it would not hold a hearing until after election, tentatively in January 2015.[17] It is unclear whether the ELEC will hear the case. The four-person board, by law required to include two Democrats and two Republicans, has been without a Democratic member since Governor Christie has not appointed one. One Democrat, Walter Timpone, recused himself without explanation leading to Divincenzo's lawyers claims that there must be a quorum.[18] The case is unlikely to proceed.[19][20] Governor Christie has chosen to not replace the Democrat, effectively crippling the ELEC.[21] Personal lifeAfter residing for 34 years in Nutley, he moved with his wife Donna to Roseland in 2013.[22] He has two children, Kimberly DiVincenzo-Root and Joseph DiVincenzo.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news | last = Kukaj | first = Hasime | title = Essex County executive moving out of Nutley | newspaper = The Record | date = July 29, 2013 | url = http://www.northjersey.com/news/essex-county-executive-moving-out-of-nutley-1.612899 | accessdate = 2014-05-21}} 2. ^{{cite web | title = Joseph DiVincenzo Class of 1976 | newspaper = New Jersey City University | url = http://njcugothicknights.com/hof.aspx?hof=17&path=&kiosk= | accessdate = 2014-05-21}} 3. ^{{cite web | last = | first = | title = DiVincenzo elected freeholder press | publisher= Jersey Hills.com | date = January 20, 2002 | url = http://newjerseyhills.com/divincenzo-elected-freeholder-pres/article_f7770f56-7889-58e8-a121-f864288fac37.html?mode=jqm | accessdate = 2014-05-21}} 4. ^1 {{cite news | last = Staff | title = Loophole allows Essex County Executive DiVincenzo to collect full salary, pension | newspaper = The Star-Ledger | date = March 31, 2011 | url = http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/03/loophole_allows_essex_county_e.html | accessdate = 2014-05-21}} 5. ^{{cite news | last = Lee | first = Eurice | title = Cory Booker, Democratic leaders back Essex executive Joseph DiVincenzo for re-election | newspaper = The Star-Ledger | date = December 13, 2013 | url = http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2013/12/cory_booker_democratic_leaders_back_essex_executive_divincenzo_in_bid_for_re-election.html | accessdate = 2014-05-21}} 6. ^Santola, Danielle.
