The roll call article strongly disagrees and says the endorsement of both county party (Burlington and Ocean) organizations makes MacArthur the favorite. I presume the next fund-raising report will show a cash infusion for him.
Lonegan did carry the distinct against Booker. But Booker is a clown who would have lost in a slightly more Republican state without a corrupt GOP that sat on it’s hands. There is no reason to believe that Belgard is an incompetent clown like Booker, so I don’t see why we should risk running Stevie.
District, I mean. Lonegan carried the district over Booker.
Just a point to add. That was a special election and there was a low voter turnout. Most unlikely Lonegan would have faired as well in a normal election.
