NJ-03: Lisa McCormick ally will challenge Conaway in NJ-3 primary

Lisa McCormick, the shadowy perennial candidate who is waging her latest campaign this year against U.S. Senator Cory Booker, is recruiting other candidates to run on her statewide Democratic primary ticket.

Shawn Scott, a Marine Corps veteran and corrections officer from Cinnaminson, will run on McCormick’s “Democrats for Change” slate against Rep. Herb Conaway (D-Delran) in the 3rd congressional district. (Despite the shared name, the slate has nothing to do with Steve Fulop’s gubernatorial campaign slogan from last year, and McCormick used the same slogan in her 2018 Senate campaign.)

There could be more McCormick-aligned challengers still to come; Scott told the New Jersey Globe that he’s the only House candidate that he knows of so far, but that McCormick and her controversial partner James Devine are looking to add more.

For his own campaign, Scott said that he plans on running as a “progressive and aggressive politician,” criticizing President Donald Trump for his deportation policies, his attacks on the Federal Reserve, and his disparagement of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance. Conaway, Scott said, has failed to sufficiently push back against Trump and advocate for the residents of the 3rd district.
