POLITICAL CAREER: Borough of Atlantic Highlands councilman, 1986-89; New Jersey House, 1991-The Sixth District, culturally diverse and largely middle class, often mirrors national political trends. A mainstream small-government Republican, Corodemus says four-term incumbent Pallone has not written or sponsored enough legislation in his House career. To do well here, Corodemus will have to capture the same moderate voters Republicans need nationwide.
