Republican primary
[edit]2013 nomineeSteve Loneganannounced in his concession speech that he would not run again for the seat in the 2014 race.[17]The top-tier candidates for the Republican primary,Thomas Kean Jr.andJay Webberalso declined to run in early January 2014, leavingJon BramnickandMichael J. Dohertyas the remaining candidates with established credentials and fundraising abilities able to start aUnited States Senatecampaign.[18][19]On January 9, 2014, Brian D. Goldberg, aWest Orangeresident and New Jersey businessman, announced that he would seek the Republican nomination.[20]The following week, on January 17, 2014, both Bramnick and Doherty announced that they would not be running for United States Senate.[20][21]
On January 27, 2014,Freehold Townshipbusinessman Richard J. "Rich" Pezzullo announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination. Pezzullo had previously run for theUS Senatein 1996 as theConservative Partycandidate.[22][23]On February 4, 2014, conservative political consultantJeff Bellannounced his bid for the nomination. Bell was the nominee for the Senate in 1978, having defeated incumbent senatorClifford Casein the Republican primary and was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination in 1982.[24]Ramapo College professorMurray Sabrin,who ran for the Senate in 2000 and 2008, announced another run on February 13.[25]FormerFBIagent Robert Turkavage, who ran as anIndependentcandidate for the U.S. Senatein 2012,had declared his candidacy. However, he got stuck in a traffic jam when he attempted to turn in his petitions shortly before the deadline, and was forced to withdraw.[26]
On March 4, Richard Pezzullo won the Union County Convention on the first ballot, going on to then win the line in Camden County and Republican stronghold Monmouth County. Opponent Brian Goldberg won the party lines in conventions in Ocean, Atlantic, Cumberland, Mercer, and Somerset Counties. Murray Sabrin won only the Middlesex line, and Jeffrey Bell made no convention appearances and contested no lines.[27]Three candidates – Brian Goldberg, Richard Pezzullo and Murray Sabrin – claimed the Burlington county line, though only Goldberg claimed to have won the line.[28]Goldberg was given the county line with no convention in Essex, Passaic, and Hudson Counties. Robert Turkavage won the convention in Hunterdon County, but the line transferred to Goldberg after Turkavage dropped out of the race.
Jeff Bell received significant support from the conservative American Principles Fund, who ran a direct mail operation that cost over $80,000, and theNational Organization for Marriage,a conservative traditional marriage group, who paid for $6,000 of automated calling.[29]
