Sabrin will discuss third-party politics at event hosted by The Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics
Dr. Murray Sabrin, a former candidate for U.S. Senate and a Ramapo College political science professor, will appear at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø on March 7 for an event hosted by The Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics.
Sabrin will discuss his experiences in running for statewide office in New Jersey, as well as his perspective on third party politics; he ran as a candidate of the Libertarian Party in 2018. In announcing his decision to run against U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, Sabin said his theme would be to bring peace, liberty and prosperity to each of New Jersey's 21 counties.
“As an enthusiastic and longtime supporter of free enterprise, Sabrin has an insightful perspective on New Jersey's motto, ‘Liberty and Prosperity,’" says Micah Rasmussen, director of the Rebovich Institute. "His experience with third-party politics will also be of interest to affiliates of any party, especially because third-party candidates can play impactful roles in statewide and national elections."
The Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics is dedicated to public service and scholarly analysis of government, public policy, campaigns and elections in New Jersey. Founded in 2001 by the late Professor David Rebovich (1949–2007), the Institute is a dynamic and creative home where students can network, study and gain practical experience in New Jersey politics.
At Ramapo, Sabrin and his wife helped establish The Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise in the college's Anisfield School of Business. It focuses on enhancing understanding of the free enterprise system and analyzing how government policies impact both the free market and the nonprofit sector.
Sabrin received a doctorate in economic geography from Rutgers University, a master's in social studies education from Lehman College and a bachelor's in history, geography and social studies education from Hunter College.
An Evening with Dr. Murray Sabrin is free and open to the public as well as the campus community. It takes place March 7 at 7 p.m. in Science and Technology Center 102 on ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø's Lawrenceville campus.
