Sires to Run in 13th Congressional District
DynamoBuzz - Albio Sires is Running for the Menendez Seat:
As expected, former NJ assembly Speaker Albio Sires has announced that he will be a candidate for the US House of Representatives seat representing NJ's 13th district. This is the seat that's vacant now that Bob Menendez has been promoted to senator.
Sires is a double dipper, serving as mayor of West New York and member of the state assembly. His opponent for the seat will be Joe Vas also a double dipper as mayor of Perth Amboy and member of the state assembly. Whoever wins cannot be a triple dipper and would have to give up the two NJ jobs for the seat in Washington.
