Lots of money is being raised ahead of the November election. Republican state Sen. and U.S. Senate candidate Joseph Kyrillos announced that his campaign has raised $1.75 million so far. Gov. Chris Christie is a close friend of Kyrillos and is assisting with the fundraising and campaigning for Kyrillos. He will likely win the GOP nomination in June and is currently trailing U.S. Senator Robert Menendez in polling ahead of the November election.
