Pascrell faces two primary challengers in re-election bid

Rep. Bill Pascrell faces two primary challengers in his bid for re-election.

The congressman submitted his petitions with more than 400 signatures. Challenger Zina Spezakis also had more than 400 sign on, while Democrat Alp Basaran got 383.

Spezakis is running under the slogan “not me. Us” in all three of the district’s counties.

Slogans for Pascrell and Basaran are pending.

Two Republicans filed for the seat.

Timothy Walsh faces Billy Prepeh in the primary. They each submitted about 230 signatures.

Due to delays caused by COVID-19, petition information may be incomplete at this time.

The deadline to file was 4:00 p.m. Monday.
