Dem New Jersey Senate president ousted by GOP trucker — who spent $153 on campaign

Thank you my friend and brother LTC David Brown for posting a great underdog victory in New Jersey
New Jersey state Senate president state Sen. Steven Sweeney 'was ousted by political novice truck driver Edward Durr who spent $153 on his Republican primary and less than $10,000 overall — dealing another blow to Democrats who ignored voters, pushed progressive agendas and then underestimated surging GOP candidates.
Edward Durr knocked off Democratic state Sen. Steven Sweeney in a stunning upset that follows the trend in Virginia, where Terry McAuliffe lost to Glenn Youngkin — and in his own Garden State, where Gov. Phil Murphy barely eked out a win against Republican Jack Ciattarelli.
Durr, 58, a truck driver for Raymour & Flanigan furniture, said he realized he could run for political office after seeing former President Donald Trump, who had never been a politician, launch his long-shot campaign for the White House in 2016.
“I had the interest and my interest to get involved in politics from following Trump’s election in 2016,” Durr told The Post in an interview from his South Jersey home.
“He didn’t need to be a lifetime politician to run. So that kind of steered me into looking into it, and then I got serious and ran in 2019,” for the state Assembly in an unsuccessful bid. He said the run “put a bug in me” and he eventually decided “no, I’m not quite done.”
New Jersey state Senate president Steve Sweeney was defeated by Republican opponent Edward Durr.
