NEW JERSEY - U.S. Army Veteran Vincent Solomeno announced his Democratic bid this month to challenge Republican Senator Declan O'Scanlon, Jr. in New Jersey's Thirteenth Legislative District.
Solomeno, 35, certainly has his work cut out for him as he aims to unseat O'Scanlon in the historically Republican district. Although a Democrat hasn't held the seat since 1991, Solomeno remains confident that the election is winnable:
"This is not about a political party," the lifelong Monmouth County resident said in a statement. "This race is about who represents us in Trenton and whether our Senator works for his constituents."
