David Crabiel, the longtime Middlesex County Freeholder who died today at age 78, ran for Congress twice, both times without success. His first campaign was in 1974 -- the year his brother, the New Jersey Secretary of State, was indicted on bid rigging charges -- when the then-Mayor of Milltown challenged ten-term incumbent Frank Thompson in the Democratic primary. Thompson won 65%-35%. The second time came in 1986, during his eighth year as a Freeholder. He won the Democratic nomination, but lost 63%-37% to James Courter, a four-term Republican.
