The day before four New Jersey Democrats and two Republicans battle it out to win their parties’ nominations for the special election for U.S. Senate, Democratic frontrunner Cory Booker canvassed the state.
One of Booker’s stops included a visit with Camden Mayor Dana Redd. At the event in front of Camden seniors, the Newark Mayor called for people to get out and vote. He also promised to be back in Camden many times if he wins.
Assembly Speaker Shelia Oliver, U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone and U.S. Rush Holt are challenging Booker in Tuesday's primary.
A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday shows 54 percent of likely Democratic primary voters supporting the Newark mayor.
On the Republican side, Steve Lonegan is set to face off against Alieta Eck.
All six candidates are looking to take over what remains on Sen. Frank Lautenberg's term in the U.S. Senate. Lautenberg died in June after serving about 30 years in two seperate stints in the U.S. Senate.
