Names in the LD1 Dem Game: Who Would Challenge if Testa Departed?

Cumberland County GOP Chair Michael Testa.

Redistricting could change everything, of course; so too could a move by state Senator Mike Testa (R-1) to U.S. Attorney as this InsiderNJ piece posits.

But who might step forward for the Democrats in the event of an LD1 opening?

A source said it’s unlikely to be former state Senator Bob Andrzeczak, beaten last year by Testa. He’s doing real estate and spending more time with his family. He really enjoyed that public service aspect of the legislature but did not enjoy the politics.

Other names? Joe Derella is a strong elected in Cumberland. There’s a young attorney, John Amenhauser, from Upper Township who could be a rising star. Carol Musso and Darlene Barber are also well-liked and seen as talents.

“But,” the source added, “I think if Testa is the candidate none of them are real contenders.”
