Money from around the country keeps pouring into New Jersey’s 3rd District congressional race showing the intensity of national interest in the district that includes Cherry Hill and runs through Burlington and Ocean counties.
Both parties are in a dead heat for the seat long held by Republicans. U.S. Rep. James Saxton (R., N.J.) is retiring after 24 years in office.
On Monday and Tuesday alone, Democratic state Sen. John Adler reported collecting $37,500, according to federal campaign reports.
In the same time period, Republican Medford Mayor Chris Myers took in $16,833.
Adler’s contributions came from unions, health care and business interests as well as Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina, Ohio, Colorado and California. He also got some help from U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) whose New Millennium PAC wrote Adler a $5,000 check.
Myers found support from Republican congressmen in Missouri and Ohio as well as the National Republican Congressional Committee. Somerset County Republican Assemblyman Pete Biondi chipped in $1,000.
