Next up: the race for Karrow's Assembly seat

Hunterdon County Freeholder Erik Peterson, with U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance, is one of the candidates for Marcia Karrow's seat in the State Assembly.

The Republican County Committee in District 23 must now schedule a second special election convention to fill the State Assembly seat of Marcia Karrow, who was elected to the State Senate today.  There are already three announced candidates: Hunterdon County Freeholders Matthew Holt and Erik Peterson, and Warren County Freeholder John DiMaio.  Bloomsbury Mayor Mark Peck is also mulling an Assembly bid.  Karrow won the seat with 58% of the vote, which demonstrates a clear advantage for a Hunterdon-based candidate.
