New Jersey State Senator Gerald Cardinale (R), representing the 39th Legislative District, has a record of supporting fracking and the infrastructure of pipelines and compressor stations that are causing damage to the health of New Jersey residents
and to the environment.

On June 26, 2013, a group of environmental activists made an unannounced visit to his legislative office in Cresskill, to spotlight Senator Cardinale’s role in obstructing a shift to
sustainable energy, and in denying the validity of climate change.

As it turned out, Cardinale, who is a dentist by profession, was away at his dental
practice, most likely engaged in drilling and extraction.
