Jen Beck was an up and coming star of the republican party in NJ. She was slated for higher office in their plans. Honestly, she wasn't an ideologue-generally the most dangerous type of republican in New Jersey. Oh well.....That completes the flip of this district. The two assembly seats went democratic in the last election and the senate seat going to Gopal is the closing of the circle.
