Gilmore won't run for Senate, even if Inverso doesn't

Democrat Glen Gilmore will seek re-election to a third term as Mayor of Hamilton Township, even if Republican State Senator Peter Inverso decides not to seek re-election this year. That means that if the 68-year-old Inverso decides to retire -- he has not yet told Republicans of his plans -- four-term Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein of Middlesex County seems to have a clear shot at the Democratic Senate nomination. Republicans say that two-term Assemblyman Bill Baroni would be their candidate.

A Greenstein vs. Baroni race would, of course, create two open Assembly seats in this swing district.
