The number of Independent candidates for Governor is now up to six: former state Environmental Protection Commissioner Christopher Daggett, Kinnelon attorney Gary Steele, former Princeton Council candidate Joshua Leinsdorf, Alvin Lindsay Jr. of Sewall, Kostas Petris of Trenton, and Gregory Pason, a frequent candidate of the Socialist Worker Party USA. Rev. Shannon Wright, an African American minister, was expected to file at 1PM; instead, she will speak to reporters at 4PM. Libertarian candidate Kenneth Kaplan has not yet filed.
Leinsdorf filed with 1,069 signatures — just 69 more than required.
