Former New Jersey Rep. Tom Malinowski is seeking a comeback, announcing Thursday a run to succeed Democratic Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill in the 11th District.
“I’m running to fulfill an oath to the Constitution I first took as a child getting American citizenship, and again as a diplomat standing up to dictators and a Congressman standing up to Trump,” the Democrat said in a statement.
Malinowski represented the neighboring 7th District for two terms until losing in 2022 to Republican Thomas H. Kean Jr. after the seat was redrawn to be more favorable to Republicans.
