Antwan McClellan, Ocean City’s Second Ward Councilman, has announced his candidacy in the New Jersey District 1 Assembly race.
“I’ve been thinking about this for a few months,” said McClellan, 44. “I would like to see our Assembly representation get younger and have the opportunity to make positive change.”
McClellan and running mate Erik Simonsen, the mayor of Lower Township, were endorsed last week at the Cumberland County GOP convention, and are expected to gain the nod in Cape May County at its Republican convention in Avalon on Wednesday.
