NJ-07: Ferguson Will Retire

This came by complete surprise. I think he's afraid he's too vulnerable and now he can vote like an Alabama Republican.

This opens the seat up for Tom Kean Jr. who ran for the US Senate last year. He will face Linda Stender, who narrowly lost to Ferguson.

Kean probably has the upper hand, but this is not New Jersey's most Republican district.

UPDATE: Kean says he's not running. Stender has an excellent shot at this seat.
