                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 18, 2012

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Victor 
Scudiery upon his retirement from his position as Chairman of the 
Monmouth County Democratic party. Chairman Scudiery has faithfully 
dedicated his time and political experience to the constituents of 
Monmouth County, New Jersey and is truly worthy of this body's 
recognition.
  Victor Scudiery was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey where he 
was active in local politics. Chairman Scudiery is an alumnus of Seaton 
Hall University where he earned a degree in business administration. 
Chairman Scudiery served two years active duty and four years as a 
reservist with the United States Army upon graduation. Along side his 
brother, Chairman Scudiery began to embark on his business endeavors 
and opened Interstate Electronics, Inc. (IEI) in 1968. Interstate 
Electronics was the beginning of a successful business enterprise that 
later included a record company, a series of children's albums and 
coloring books, and numerous successful music and pictorial 
productions. The Airport Plaza Shopping center on Route 36 in Hazlet, 
New Jersey remains the Chairman's primary base of operation. Through 
his efforts, Airport Plaza has been revitalized. Chairman Scudiery 
continues to admirably oversee several other business ventures 
throughout the State of New Jersey.
  In addition to his business ventures, Chairman Scudiery served under 
former Governor Brendan Byrne on the Ethics Advisory Council. Chairman 
Scudiery was also appointed to serve as Co-Chairman of the Boy Scouts 
of Monmouth County, Technical Advisor at Kean College and Chairman of 
the Buck Smith Scholarship Award Foundation. Chairman Scudiery sits on 
the Bayshore Community Hospital Board of trustees and is the Chairman 
of the Bayshore Senior Health, Education and Recreation Center Board of 
Directors. He is a dedicated member of the Bayshore Hospital Health 
Care Center. Chairman Scudiery is also a long time member of the 
Northern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce and was recently appointed to the 
Board of Directors. As a result of his hard work and dedication, he was 
honored with the 2008 Business Ambassador of the Year Award.
  Victor Scudiery was elected Chairman of the Monmouth County 
Democratic Party in 1989. Under Chairman Scudiery's leadership, the 
Democratic party of Monmouth County continues to make impressive 
strides to assure that Democrats are elected to office. Multiple towns 
in Monmouth County with long tradition of Republican leadership now 
have a Democratic presence as a result of Chairman Scudiery's 
direction. The Chairman will be retiring from his position in 2012. His 
steadfast leadership has boosted the Monmouth County Democratic party. 
He will continue to serve as an inspiration to future Democratic 
leaders.
  Mr. Speaker, Chairman Victor Scudiery has dedicated his life to 
various philanthropic, business and political endeavors. Please join my 
colleagues in thanking the Chairman for 23 years of service to the 
Democratic Party and dedication to the Monmouth County, New Jersey 
community.
