  4. Wildstein, David. "Bergen, Passaic, Essex back Corrado, DePhillips and Barlas in 40th district next year", New Jersey Globe, November 10, 2022. Accessed January 11, 2024. "With about one-third of the newly drawn 40th legislative district now sitting in Essex County, State Sen. Kristin Corrado (R-Totowa) and Assemblyman Christopher DePhillips (R-Wyckoff) will seek re-election next year on a ticket with Essex County GOP Chairman Al Barlas running for the State Assembly – a move that has the support of party leaders in Bergen, Passaic and Essex. The move leaves Assemblyman Kevin Rooney (R-Wyckoff) without a seat next year as party leaders adjust for the realities of legislative redistricting that puts seven Essex County municipalities into the district.... Born in Pakistan, Barlas would become the first South Asian American Republican to serve in the legislature, and potentially brings diversity to the Republican Party in Trenton."
