Despite failing to gain the Republican Party line in Middlesex, Union and Monmouth, Highlands Mayor Anna Little said she remains committed to running in the Republican Primary in the 6th Congressional District. 

"We're seeing this through to the end," said Little, who lost Union County to Shannon Wright of Plainfield and Middlesex and Monmouth to establishment Republican Diane Gooch of Rumson.

"I don't see a way to put the brakes on at this point," Little said. "I knew this was the way it would turn out (the conventions), but I am encouraged by the grassroots support I am getting."

Little spoke to PolitickerNJ.com moments after emerging from a campaign meeting.

"There was not one negative word about the campaign," said Little. "There are some - friends of mine - who are concerned about me, but I'm putting their fears to rest. I'm a stubborn lady."
