Retired four-star General Wesley Clark will stump for Freeholder and Democratic county executive candidate James Tedesco at a veterans’ forum and a fund-raiser on Aug. 6, his campaign announced Friday.

Clark, a former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO who once ran as a Democratic candidate for president, will first speak at a veteran’s community forum in Fair Lawn followed by a campaign fund-raiser that evening.

“General Wesley Clark is an American hero and I am honored to have his support,” Tedesco said in a prepared statement.

Tesdesco’s campaign credited Wyckoff resident and Clark’s former speechwriter Josh Gottheimer with getting him involved in the county executive campaign.

Gottheimer got to know Clark while serving as a speechwriter and special assistant to President Bill Clinton.

Gottheimer now works as general manager of corporate strategy at Microsoft and has been serving as an informal adviser to Tedesco, campaign officials said.

Tedesco, a former Paramus mayor elected to the freeholder board in November, is challenging County Executive Kathleen Donovan, a Republican running for a second four-year term.
