TRENTON, N.J. — A Clifton City councilwoman has secured the Republican nomination to challenge the Democratic incumbent in New Jersey’s 9th Congressional District race.
Rosie Pino emerged victorious over attorney Tiffany Burress in the GOP primary for the northern New Jersey seat, according to The Associated Press, which declared her the winner on Friday. She will now face Democratic Rep. Nellie Pou, who is running for her second term in Congress.
Political observers are keeping a close eye on this congressional district, especially Republicans who believe they have a viable chance following the unexpectedly tight 2024 election results and Donald Trump’s success in areas where the GOP hadn’t claimed victory in many years.
