 TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Bucking party leaders who urged him not to run, U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews has decided to challenge Frank Lautenberg for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
Andrews told Democratic officials of his intentions Wednesday, 48 hours after his conspicuous absence from Lautenberg's formal re-election announcement in Trenton.
"I have decided that I will place my name and my credentials before the people of New Jersey to serve as their new United States senator," Andrews said. "The people of New Jersey deserve to choose their senator."
