Estabrook drops U.S. Senate bid

Citing health reasons, Anne Evans Estabrook is dropping her bid for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination. That leaves a two-way contest to challenge four-term Democrat Frank Lautenberg between State Sen. Joseph Pennacchio (R-Morris) and Murray Sabrin, a Ramapo College Professor and the leader of Ron Paul's New Jersey campaign.

Estabrook, 61, was making her first bid for public office after a career as a real estate developer, philanthropist, and Chairman of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. She had won key endorsements by the Burlington, Camden and Monmouth Republican organizations, and based on her endorsements and money, had been viewed as the front runner in the race to challenge Lautenberg. Pennacchio has won county endorsement contests in Hunterdon and Union counties.

Republicans had embraced Estabrook as their standard bearer after she agreed to self-finance her Senate bid. She loaned her campaign nearly $1.7 million,and raised another $150,000. Lautenberg has about $4.3 million cash on hand; Pennacchio and Sabrin have not yet reported their fundraising efforts.

With the April 7 filing deadline fast approaching, it is possible that another Republican could enter the race. State Sen. Joseph Kyrillos, 47, mulled a late entrance into the race last month, but decided against a statewide bid. Kyrillos said this morning that he had no plans to reconsider a run against Lautenberg.

"I am surprised to hear Anne’s news but I appreciate the fact she has a health concern she needs to deal with, which a tough and competitive senate race wouldn’t have helped," Kyrillos said.

Another potential self-funder, businessman Joseph Plumeri, could also emerge as a candidate.

The 84-year-old Lautenberg is seeking a fifth term in the Senate, which would make him the longest serving Senator in New Jersey history. He served from 1982 to 2001, and again when he replaced Robert Torricelli as the Democratic nominee in 2002.

Conventions are detrimental to one's health.


Her biggest misassumption was that the GOP was a lockstep organization.  The best analogy is that of herding domestic short hairs. 

She was never in touch with the Committee rank and file.  These people having been in the trenches year after year,  don't like prima donnas.  And, she did not figure out the energy is needed.  Listening to Joe and Murray, they have passion.

Establishment Republicans in a Panic?


Wow! -At least they have McCain

 But who are the County chairmen going to get their checks from?

That after all has been the only qualifier for  most county chairs. Who can write them the fattest check.

Any other bored millionairs out there that want to join the most exclusive club in the world?? Contact Tom Wilson immediately.

Hmm... quite the conundrum

I hope she had a speedy


I hope she had a speedy recovery, and that she recovers fully

In terms of politics, I don't think it changes much, b/c she wasn't going to win the primary anyway.

And whoever wins the primary won't beat Lautenberg anyway.
