John P. Capizola, Jr., lovingly known as Johnny was born and raised in Vineland, NJ by his parents John and Denise Capizola. Currently resides in Vineland with wife Giovanna and Family.

Johnny earned a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Delaware where he majored in health and physical education and obtained his NJ teaching certificate in Physical Education (K-12). In 2008 he completed a Master’s Degree Program in Educational Leadership at Wilmington University, graduating Summa Cum

Laude with Distinction by earning a 4.0-grade point average. Upon graduation he fulfilled the requirements to achieve his New Jersey Principal and Supervisor Certifications.

Johnny has always loved sports and the bonding that comes with team sports. Not surprisingly Johnny is currently a health and physical education teacher at Anthony Rossi Elementary School for the Vineland Public Schools District and has been an educator for more than 22 years.

Coaching is a passion of Johnny. He has spent hundreds of hours coaching children with the East Vineland Little League, the Vineland YMCA, the Vineland Basketball Association, and the Vineland Soccer Association. Johnny also coached baseball at the high school level in Atlantic City and fall ball for Vineland students. He is also a board member for the Vineland Midget Football League. What started out as a bonding activity with his 4-year-old son has led to a pseudo profession.

Through the years Johnny has had many business ventures, the first was opening of a restaurant called Serafina‘s Ristorante & Pizzeria in Millville with his Mother in. Law. Not long after that, he owned Parkside Laundromat in Millville NJ. All of this has given Johnny a first-hand experience of what it takes to be a successful business entrepreneur.

John’s education, career, business experience, and desire to give back to his community makes him a stand out leader and steward for the well-being of his community.

To Steve Sweeney, hard work, public service, and a devotion to one’s community – especially those most vulnerable – aren’t abstract ideas; they are deep convictions.​

Born in Camden and raised in Pennsauken, and with a background as an ironworker, Steve learned what it means to put in a hard day’s work.

Tough days on the job shaped Steve into the fighter he would become for organized labor, workers’ rights, and working families. But he was called to serve New Jerseyans after battling through challenges when his daughter was born with Down Syndrome.

Steve became a champion for people with disabilities and everyone in his community, serving on the Gloucester County Board of Chosen Freeholders from 1997 to 2010 and as State Senator from 2002 to 2021.​

As Senator, Steve authored New Jersey’s Paid Family Leave program, working to ensure parents have the resources they need to take time with their children – something he values deeply after spending nearly two months in the hospital with his newborn daughter.

Elected Senate President in 2009, Steve delivered property tax relief, pension system reforms, and minimum wage increases to help New Jerseyans make ends meet. He also advanced education reform, including for special-needs students, strengthened law enforcement’s ability to protect children from sex offenders, and sponsored legislation to provide equal pay for women and equal marriage rights for the LGBTQ+ community.

Steve believes New Jersey is worth fighting for. He entered public office over two decades ago to make a difference in the lives of all New Jerseyans and has a record of delivering results for our families. But the fight isn’t over. That’s why Steve is asking for your support in his campaign for governor.
