Wilson and Tumulty Transformed New Jersey Politics
In 1910 Thomas Woodrow Wilson, a Presbyterian, sought northern county support in New Jersey. He formed a reformist team with Catholic helpers Tumulty and Sullivan, pushing open primaries and labor laws as he rose to governorship. Wilson later became president in 1913 with Tumulty as secretary, their alliance noted as exceptional in history.
