It’s now a three-way race in Long Branch

The big news out of Long Branch is the unexpected entrance of school board member Avery Grant in the race for mayor.  Incumbent Adam Schneider is already facing City Council President John Pallone, the brother of a popular local congressman.

The Pallone-Schneider war is one of the states oldest rivalries and this is a rematch of the 1994 mayoral fight.  Grant ran against Schneider four years ago.
