The good news keeps rolling in today, and it looks like Linda Stender may be given a leg up by Republican Bridgewater Councilman Michael Hsing who has announced his intention to run as an independent in the NJ-07.
A one-time contender for the Republican nod for the seat, Bridgewater Township Councilman Michael Hsing, 53, now says he would be a better choice for voters than either state Sen. Leonard Lance, R-Clinton Township, or Assemblywoman Linda Stender, D-Fanwood, the two major-party nominees.
“As an independent, I shed the baggage on my back, I can do things without being pulled by the party,” Hsing said in an interview Friday, July 25. “That sets me apart from the two candidates. They will always have that baggage on their back.”
Democrat Linda Stender already has a lot of cash on hand and the Republicans cannot be happy.
