The Auditor. "Crosbie's immunity may have worn off", The Star-Ledger, January 30, 2011. Accessed August 22, 2011. "Sen. Andrew Ciesla is ending his two-decade run in Trenton, telling The Auditor he’ll call it quits after this year.... He will not run for re-election in November. “It’s been a great run and we’ve accomplished an awful lot. Two decades just seemed to me the amount of time to dedicate to public service and it’s time to pass the torch,” Ciesla said. Ciesla said he never intended to spend more than 10 years in the Legislature. In fact, he sponsored a resolution in 1993 to enact 10-year term limits. It never got anywhere. Ciesla said he expects Assemblymen David Wolfe (R-Ocean) and Jim Holzapfel (R-Ocean) to vie for his seat."
