Jacobson Not Running For Assembly In GOP 11th Primary

By Art Gallagher

triCityNews publisher Dan Jacobson told MoreMonmouthMusings that he will not be a candidate for Assembly in 11th district Republican primary because, “it just doesn’t feel right.”   “I like both incumbents,” Jacobson said of Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini and Caroline Cassagrande,  “it wouldn’t be like challenging Sean Kean.”

Jacobson of Asbury Park, a former Democratic member of the Assembly, registered as a Republican last month in preparation of challenging Kean in the Senate primary.  The new legislative map moved Kean, of Wall, into the 30th legislative district.  Kean will be running for Assembly in the 30th, as Republican Senator Robert Singer, Lakewood, also resides in the new 30th.

Jacobson is angry with Kean over his vote against gay marriage.

  1. You still could have ran for Senator said at 8:34 pm on April 11th, 2011:

    Jennifer Beck also voted against gay marriage.

    Why wouldn’t you challenge her for the senate seat? It just doesn’t make sense, especially Jacobson being from Asbury Park which will most likely vote against Jennifer Beck.

    An opportunity lost.

    Maybe it was because he couldn’t get enough signatures 🙂 ?

    All of this was a silly attention getter for a rag of a newspaper. It reminds me of a Bond movie where the arch villain tried to set up a war between China and Britain, just to create news.

    Sad Dan, Very Sad.

    In any case Dan probably has changed his affiliation back to Democrat.
