Assemblywoman Jean Stanfield has announced she will run for state senate.
The Republican assemblywoman will challenge incumbent state Sen. Dawn Addiego for the 8th Legislative District senate seat up this November, she announced last week.
Addiego has filed the paperwork to seek reelection, according to the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission. Right now, New Jersey is really on the brink of crisis in so many ways, Stanfield said. And I don’t feel Dawn Addiego is stepping up to the plate and representing her constituents the way she could and should.
Before becoming an assemblywoman, she served 18 years as the elected Burlington County sheriff. She was elected to the state s general assembly alongside fellow Republican Ryan Peters in 2019.

The Hoboken City Council adopted a last-minute addition to the agenda on Jan. 6 opposing the proposed Palisade Cliffs Protection Act.
The act introduced on Dec. 10, aims to limit the height of any development below the cliffs east of Palisade Avenue in Hudson and Bergen counties. Palisade Avenue extends from Jersey City in Hudson County to Fort Lee in Bergen County and would impact 10 municipalities between the two counties.
