Vying for the job of First Gentleman, Doug Emhoff gave a shout-out to New Jersey tonight from the stage of the Democratic National Convention.

“Where’s New Jersey?” Emhoff asked, to scattered applause from the New Jersey Delegation.

Imhoff has ties to the Garden State.

Before his father moved the Imhoff Family to California, the future entertainment lawyer and husband of Kamala Harris grew up in Matawan and Old Bridge Township. He went to Cedar Ridge High School and attended Temple Shalom, a Reform synagogue in Aberdeen.
