MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. – The race to unseat incumbent GOP Assemblyman Joe Howarth (R-8) appears to be tilting in the challenger’s favor, at least in terms of party support.
On Thursday night, Burlington Republicans released a list of 70 Republican leaders endorsing Assemblyman Ryan Peters and his new running mate, Sheriff Jean Stanfield. Howarth stands accused of trying to join the South Jersey Democrats along with turncoat state Senator Dawn Addiego (D-8), a former Republican who jumped ship early this year. Howarth denies the allegation.
