“I am happy to add my name to the list of Dr. Eck’s supporters,” said Chairwoman Kane. “As a doctor, businesswoman, selfless servant of the poor and needy, mother, wife, and leader, Dr. Eck is the kind of individual we need in Washington. She demonstrates daily that the values we espouse as Republicans, when put into practice, yield results. She has my support and I look forward to helping her win in November.”
“It is very exciting to receive the endorsement of such accomplished women as Mary and Roslyn,” added Eck, a medical physician and philanthropist, in her campaign’s press release announcing the endorsements. “Their service to our party, tireless advocacy for our shared values, and accomplishments in business and education make them leaders to look up to and try to emulate. I look forward to their help and counsel and I am honored by their endorsement.”
Dr. Eck has already won the backing of Somerset GOP Chairman Al Gaburo and former Assemblywoman Barbara Wright.
To date, no other GOP challengers of note have announced a bid of their own.
