Steve Lonegan is filing 7,210 signatures in Trenton today collected by over 240 circulators from all twenty-one Garden State counties, a source with the former mayor’s U.S. Senate campaign tells Save Jersey.
Lonegan filed roughly the same number as his likely October Democrat opponent, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, according to PolitickerNJ.
His only confirmed opponent for the August special primary election, Dr. Alieta Eck, filed about 2,300 on Monday afternoon. The number required to gain ballot access is 1,000.
A third possible candidate, Brian Goldberg, failed to obtain enough signatures according to a campaign release. His campaign FB page reported that he had come up with 600 signatures as of Sunday afternoon and implored supporters that “[i]f anybody has a political miracle in their pocket, now’s the time to pull it out!”
