Lonegan has a huge warchest, $2.6 million. Aside from Democrat Belgard, all the other candidates have $0. It’s impossible to see him losing here.
The roll call article strongly disagrees and says the endorsement of both county party (Burlington and Ocean) organizations makes MacArthur the favorite. I presume the next fund-raising report will show a cash infusion for him.
Lonegan did carry the distinct against Booker. But Booker is a clown who would have lost in a slightly more Republican state without a corrupt GOP that sat on it’s hands. There is no reason to believe that Belgard is an incompetent clown like Booker, so I don’t see why we should risk running Stevie.
MacArthur has pledged to spend 2.5 to 3 million of his own money.
