Former Ridgewood Republican Club President John Ginty says that he has assembled a team of more than two dozen volunteers to get "more than the required 1,000 signatures" on his nominating petitions to run for the U.S. Senate. He says if he gets enough signatures, he will challenge State Sen. Tom Kean in the GOP primary. "New Jersey would benefit from a Senate primary campaign in which solid, effective conservative solutions and principles are promoted by at least one candidate," Ginty told PoliticsNJ.com.
