A Democrat from Augusta declared her candidacy Thursday for the state Assembly in the Republican-dominated 24th District.

Jacky Stapel, 34, a first-time candidate, said the impending resignation of Assemblywoman Alison Littell McHose, R-24th Dist., was the driving force behind her entry.

Stapel said she believes McHose's still-to-be-determined successor will be more vulnerable than Assemblyman Parker Space, R-24th Dist., in the Nov. 3 general election.

All 80 seats in the Assembly are on the ballot this year.

Stapel spoke to the New Jersey Herald prior to attending a meeting of the Warren County Democrats, where she was to launch her candidacy.

She said she deliberately chose Warren County for her announcement, which along with Mount Olive in Morris County makes up about 30 percent of the district.

All of Sussex County is in the 24th District.

I figured we should really get them involved. It's their district, too, Stapel said.
