Tea Party member seeks Republican nomination for U.S. Senate
The race for the Republican U.S. senate nomination has picked up a little heat, with the official entry of Tea Party member Bader Qarmout into the contest.
Qarmout kicked off his candidacy at a rally with about 80 supporters at Homer’s Restaurant in Sparta. In his remarks, he said his conservative views are what will be needed to beat Democratic incumbent Sen. Robert Menendez. (O’Dea, NJ Spotlight)
