Mayor in Burlington County Considering Run For Governor

A Burlington County man who was on the sidelines when the Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII is considering a run for governor of New Jersey, nj.com reports.

Evesham Township Mayor Randy Brown is strongly considering running for the Republican nomination to succeed Gov. Chris Christie next year, according to the report.

Brown is a kicking consultant for the Ravens, and commutes 126 miles to work during the football season. He is married with two young daughters and an adult son, according to the report.

Winning the governorship will be an uphill climb for a few reasons, including the perception that Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno is the favorite to succeed Christie.

Any Republican who hopes to follow Christie will either benefit or suffer from his relationship with voters in New Jersey.

Perhaps most of all, or at least something not to be discounted, voters in the Garden State don’t take kindly to politicians who aren’t Eagles or Giants fans.
