>Passaic County Freeholder Director Terry Duffy is exploring 5th District run against Scott Garrett
Passaic County Freeholder Director Terry Duffy announced he is forming an exploratory committee for a potential 5th District congressional bid.
In a statement, Duffy said he will meet with residents of the newly drawn district over the next 30 days in an effort to decide if challenging incumbent Republican U.S. rep. Scott Garrett is feasible.
“Our priority needs to be unseating Congressman Garrett – who now becomes the most vulnerable incumbent Congressman in New Jersey with this new map,” Duffy said in a statement. ” I look forward to challenging his extremist record with pragmatic common sense solutions.” (Isherwood, PolitickerNJ)
