Lesniak’s gubernatorial run (I learned a new word) has not been made public, but he did tell NJ.com that his team’s plans have ‘been a long time in the making, about a year.’ He told Politico that after 40 years in office he ‘needed to do more’ and couldn’t do that without running for governor. The position will become vacant as Chris Christie leads his personal charge for the position of the most powerful man in the world.
