Pezzulo is a decent guy. I’ve gotten to know him the last few years, supported him when he ran in the 2013 special election to replace Lautenberg, which Christie screwed us on by calling a special early elections to avoid Booker. He was a Cruz supporter and rabid Anti-Trumper, but has seen the light and seems to be an honest supporter of Trump these days. He won’t win, but Republicans max at about 43-44% in most elections here. It’s a shame but if the Republican party was cohesive here we might actually win an occasional election. I fully expect Tom Kean, Jr to run this time as well.
I would vote for Kean Jr.
Kean’s district is a couple of areas from mine (Middlesex-Monmouth)
