Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi will face a Tea Party challenger for his 9th District seat this April 24 in the Republican Primary.
The challenger, Rogers Howard, is a Unionville resident with a PhD. in Chemistry.
“I met Rogers Howard yesterday for two hours,” said Tea Party activist Bob Guzzardi. “He may the smartest candidate I have met – so smart that he can admit he doesn’t know something.”
Howard served in the 82d Airborne Division.
