Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac
Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac confirmed that he had two summertime meetings with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) about the possibility of challenging freshman U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Clinton) in 2010, but told the DCCC late last month he won't run.
"I was flattered to be considered but i have the job I've always loved and I'm only halfway through my first term," said McCormac. "I made a commitment to the people of Woodbridge."
A former state treasurer, McCormac said he had one meeting with the DCCC in Woodbridge in early June. Later the same month he went to Washington, D.C. for more talks.
"I told them sometime in the last month I wouldn't be a candidate for consideration," McCormac said.
