FILE – In this Dec. 10, 2015 file photo, New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney, D-West Deptford, N.J., says he will push for a constitutional amendment requiring the state to make quarterly public pension payments despite Gov. Chris Christie's opposition, while speaking to a gathering at the Statehouse in Trenton, N.J. New Jersey's powerful Democratic Senate president is an ironworkers union executive, but Sweeney's 2017 re-election campaign faces stiff opposition from a teachers' union, the New Jersey Education Association, which backs his Republican challenger Fran Grenier.
