Kean now has the formal backing of two counties (including Hunterdon) heading into the June GOP primary. The winner will take on Democrat Tom Malinowski.
The former GOP State Senate leader and Isemann are facing off Thursday and Friday in a run-off second ballot for the Morris GOP’s endorsement. Then it’s on to Somerset County.
