Former NFL player Jon Runyan (R) defeated conservative activist Justin Murphy (R) 60% to 40% tonight in New Jersey's 3rd district GOP primary.
Murphy was running to Runyan's right, and often cited Runyan's support for abortion rights on the campaign trail.
Runyan, who was the GOP establishment pick in the primary, will face freshman Rep. John Adler (D) in the general election.
This is sure to be an expensive race, as Adler has a campaign warchest of $1.67 million and Runyan can self-fund part of his candidacy as the two compete in the expensive Philadelphia media market.
