Joseph Kyrillos, a Republican New Jersey lawmaker who ran Governor Chris Christie’s election campaign, said he’d vote to repeal the federal health-care act and cut spending as he began his bid for U.S. Senate.
Kyrillos, 51, seeks to challenge Democratic incumbent Robert Menendez, who had $6.9 million in his campaign fund as of Sept. 30, according to Federal Election Commission data. A New Jersey Republican hasn’t won a U.S. Senate seat since 1972, the last victory for four-term incumbent Clifford P. Case.
