Candidates vying for the 12th Congressional seat appeared at a forum sponsored by the Somerset Run Civics Club. Pictured left to right are: Democrats Andrew Zwicker, State Sen. Linda Greenstein, State Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula, State. Assemblywoman. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Republican Dr. Aleita Eck.
The five candidates vying to replace U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (D-12) tried to show why they should do just that at a candidates’ forum May 29 sponsored by the Somerset Run Civics Club.
Holt, an 8-term Congressman, decided earlier this year to not seek re-election.
That opened the door for Democrats in this Democrat-leaning district: state Assembly members Upendra Chivukula (D-Somerset) – a former Township Councilman and Mayor – and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Mercer); state Sen. Linda Greenstein (D-Middlesex) and Andrew Zwicker, a political newcomer who, like Holt, is a Princeton University physicist.
