Newark City Council President LaMonica McIver wins special primary for New Jersey US House seat

Associated Press  

TRENTON, N.J. — Newark City Council President LaMonica McIver has won the special House Democratic primary to succeed the late Donald Payne Jr. in Congress. McIver emerged as a leading candidate in the 11-way primary over the summer, getting endorsements from Payne’s family, party leaders and Democratic Sen. Cory Booker. Phil Murphy set the special primary under state law after Payne’s death, with the special general election slated for Sept. 18. Among the developments were the indictment on federal bribery charges of U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, who denies the charges, and the demise of the so-called county party line — a system in which local political leaders give their preferred candidates favorable position on the primary ballot.
