As you know, the retirement of Sen. George Bunting as set up a game of musical chairs downstate, which already had two games going on with the new 6th District Senate seat and the new 20th District House seat added to the area.
Last night, former Rep. Shirley Price spoke to the 38th RD Democratic Committee and announced that she will be running for her old seat. Republican Representative Hocker, who currently represents the 38th, is expected to run for the 20th Senate seat, which Sen. Bunting is vacating. Hocker is expected to announced his candidacy on April 12th at the Roxana Fire Hall.
Meanwhile, on the Republican side, we hear that Rep. Hocker’s son has decided not to run, but that Sussex County Councilman George Cole (R) is considering it.
