Assemblyman Jay Webber’s prime Morris County NJ11 primary opponent is passing.
“After thoughtful deliberation about politics and building a winning campaign, ultimately I came to realize that at this point in my life, turning things upside-down to be in Washington was too big a price to pay for myself and my family,” said Assemblyman Anthony Bucco (R-25) in a Tuesday evening statement. “Additionally, my work in Trenton isn’t finished. I want to continue fighting for taxpayers and deliver a more affordable New Jersey. With the tax-and spend policies proposed by the new administration, it’s now more important now than ever. I want to thank the dozens of legislators, Mayors, Council people, party leaders and others who offered their name and support. It means so much to me and my family, and we will not forget it.”
Webber remains the only declared GOP candidate to succeed Rodney Frelinghuysen to date.
