The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will begin running a radio advertisement today attacking newly-elected U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Clinton) for voting against President Obama's $89 billion economic stimulus plan. The DCCC did not disclose how much they are spending on the Lane ads, but Democratic party sources said it was not an expensive media buy.
Lance easily held the 7th district House seat last November (51%-42%) despite substantial financial help from the DCCC for Democrat Linda Stender, a four-term Assemblywoman.
Possible candidates to challenge Lance in 2010: State Sen. Joseph Vitale, the former Acting Mayor of Woodbridge and the Chairman of the Senate Health Committee; Assemblyman Joseph Cryan, the Democratic State Chairman; Edison Mayor Jun Choi; Union County Freeholder Alexander Mirabella; and Summit Mayor Jordan Glatt.
