TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The political wrangling could continue until fall for Carl Lewis, the nine-time Olympic gold medalist who wants to compete as a Democrat for a seat in the New Jersey Legislature.
Republicans have challenged his bid for office, saying he failed to meet the state’s four-year residency requirement.
Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno disqualified Lewis. But after he challenged her decision and the residency rule itself, a judge allowed the track star’s name to appear on the June primary ballot.
Lewis lawyer Bill Tambussi wants to be able to question Guadagno as the case proceeds.
