Now that Cory Booker has been declared the winner of the U.S. Senate seat, it’s time to start campaigning for next year when the full six-year term is up for grabs. PolitickerNJ has already posted Booker’s likely opponents:

Morris County Assemblyman Jay Webber (Lonegan supporter); Mr. Flat School Tax/Abbott District Enemy Assemblyman Mike Doherty; Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets and scion of the Robert Wood Johnson family; good ol’ Steve Lonegan, who has said he won’t run again (talk about credibility);  Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick, far more moderate that some of his colleagues; highly-respected Senator Tom Kean; another relatively moderate candidate, Senator Jen Beck; John Crowley, the subject of books and movies about his heart-wrenching search for a cure for his children’s genetic disorder, Pompe’s Disease;  Senator Joe Kyrillos, who has proposed bills that would abolish LIFO (seniority-based lay-offs), implement merit pay for teachers, and create a parent trigger law that would mandate that a failing school be closed or turned into a charter if a majority of parents vote for such a move; and Rev. Aubrey Fenton, whom his website describes as “an emerging spiritual leader who serves the Lord with character and competence.”
