Diane Allen speaks Wednesday at the Burlington County Agricultural Center in Moorestown after Republican candidate for New Jersey governor, Jack Ciattarelli (left), announced that she would be his running mate.
New Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli officially introduced former State Sen. Diane Allen as his running mate on Wednesday during a press conference in Moorestown, Allen’s hometown.
The venue, the Burlington County Agricultural Center, is where Allen launched her first campaign more than 50 years ago for a seat on the Moorestown Board of Education.
She lost that race. However, Allen would go on to represent the 7th Legislative District for more than two decades. She became a state senator after one term as an assemblywoman.
