Jay Webber

In Morris County, it's almost a tradition: challenge an incumbent in a primary and your political future is secure. 

Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen ran against two-term incumbent James Courter in the 1982 congressional primary, and ousted incumbent Assemblyman William Bishop in the '83 primary.  Michael Patrick Carroll took on Frelinghuysen in the 1993 GOP Assembly primary, and won an Assembly seat two years later.  Richard Merkt challenged Carroll in 1995 and won in 1997.  Joseph Pennacchio ran against Dean Gallo in a 1994 primary for Congress (he did not know Gallo had cancer), and later won primaries for Freeholder, Assembly and State Senate. 

Stack wins, Cunningham wins, Booker’s slate wins five out of six, Hudson County Civil War will continue, Webber wins, O’Toole wins

Just three days out from the 26th district Republican primary between Jay Webber and Larry Casha, many Republicans say the race is too close to call. 

The two candidates are enmeshed in a heated battle for one of two one open assembly seat in the 26th District, trying to outdo each others’ conservative credentials.

Assembly Minority Leader Alex DeCroce is up for reelection for the other seat, but he is considered the favorite and both other candidates claim to support him.  

Under a barrage of campaign literature from opponent Jay Webber, District 26 Assembly candidate Larry Casha planned to hold a press conference this morning announcing his intentions, if elected, to write a bill entitled, "Truth in Campaign Advertising."

DAILY RECORD ENDORSES WEBBER!  

“Webber in the 26th, GOP voters should give him a chance,”  The Daily Record, May 30, 2007

Jay Webber showed up in Morris County politics four years ago, launching a series of attacks from the right on state Sen. Robert Martin, a moderate, or depending on your view, liberal Republican from Morris Plains. Webber was only 31, but he was articulate beyond his years and he scared the dickens out of Martin, who campaigned hard to keep his seat.
