"But," wrote Kornacki, "whether Weinberg, who backed Zisa in his brief bid to topple Baer last year, does want it [the Senate seat] is an open question." </p><p>Sixteen months later, that question appeared to have been answered.

She said the chairman agreed to back her for [Assembly] majority leader, while she pledged to support a candidate of his choosing to replace state Senator Byron Barer when the 75-year-old steps down...some say she also had pledged support to Valerie Vainieri Huttle, a freeholder, for the Senate spot." </p><p>Following Baer's resignation, Ferriero backed Zisa to fill the vacancy, as expected.
