"Stockman, a Democrat, was elected over Republican Mario D. Rossetti to complete the unexpired term of Mrs. Helen Chiarello Szabo as General Assembly member for the 13th District. Mrs. Szabo had resigned from the Assembly to take her new job as Mercer County superintendent of elections. Stockman will complete her term and presumably will run for re-election to a full two-year term next year. The pattern was sequential. Mrs. Szabo, a journeyman or journeywoman Trenton politician, had come into the Assembly in a special 1976 election to fill the unexpired term of the Rev. S. Howard Woodson, formerly speaker of the House, had resigned to take a better political job as president of the State Civil Service Commission."
