Gordon MacInnes
Gordon A. MacInnes is a Democratic politician from New Jersey who has served twice in the state Legislature. MacInnes was elected to the state Assembly in 1973 in a heavily Republican Morris County district, as part of the Watergate-driven Democratic landslide of that year. He was defeated in his re-election bid in 1975.[1] In 1993, he won election to the state Senate in a major upset over incumbent Senate Majority Leader John Dorsey, again in a heavily Republican district. He again failed to win re-election in 1997, losing to Republican Anthony Bucco,[2] who continues to hold that Senate seat.
MacInnes also served as Assistant Commissioner in the New Jersey Department of Education from 2002 to 2007. He currently serves as a member of the Board of Governors of Rutgers University.[3] He also is a former executive director of the New Jersey Network.[4]
MacInnes is the president of New Jersey Policy Perspective, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that researches and analyzes economic issues. MacInnes is a fellow at The Century Foundation in New York and previously was a lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University. [5]
During the administration for President Jimmy Carter, MacInnes was deputy director of the White House Task Force on the Cities.[6]
