Excerpts
NJTV, the state’s public television broadcaster, is televising and live-streaming four House and Senate debates starting Wednesday,
With roughly a month until Election Day
on Nov. 6, campaign signs are popping up in yards, money is fueling
campaign commercial wars and candidates are making their closing
pitches.
At
the top of the ticket this year is the Senate race, in which Republican
Bob Hugin is hoping to become the first GOP candidate in New Jersey to
win election to the Senate since 1972. He faces Democratic incumbent Bob
Menendez.
The debates come as the Oct. 16 voter registration deadline approaches.
Hugin has attacked Menendez as corrupt,
accusations stemming from a federal corruption indictment, which ended
with charges being dropped after a mistrial. Menendez denied wrongdoing.
SENATE
Menendez
is seeking his third term and going against Hugin, a former executive
at drugmaker Celgene. Polls show the race has tightened in blue New
Jersey, where Democrats have a more than 900,000-voter-registration
advantage over Republicans.
The two candidates will meet in an Oct. 24 debate.
The two candidates will meet in an Oct. 24 debate.
Menendez
has cast Hugin as a surrogate for President Donald Trump, who’s
unpopular in New Jersey, and as a greedy CEO. Hugin said his company has
done life-saving working making cancer drugs.
