Ferguson supports Estabrook's decision
By Matt FriedmanOutgoing Rep. Mike Ferguson, who chaired Anne Evans Estabrook’s U.S. Senate campaign and has known her since he was a child, said that she made the right decision by dropping out of the race.
"As the chairman of Anne’s campaign, I’m confident she would be an excellent Senator for New Jersey, but as her friend I believe she made the right decision to end her campaign,” he said. "I am proud of Anne’s leadership and public service and her commitment to improve
our state and help others. She is a woman of strength and character, and I’m honored to know her and to consider her one of my very closest friends.”

A chance for Anne to redeem herself
Let see if Mrs. Estabrook is going to support other Republicans in their races, including Dr. Sabrin for the US Senate. Unless, she would like to donate to Lautenberg campaign.
