From NJ.com:
Republican senators announced today they are supporting Sen. Tom Kean (R-Union) for the Senate presidency.
With 17 Republican votes, Kean has more votes than either of the two Democrats — Sens. Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) or Richard Codey (D-Essex) — who have publicly battled for the position. Any candidate needs 21 votes to become Senate president.
“We wanted to say today we are unified as a caucus,” Kean said. “The goal is to get to 21.”
Sweeney announced last week he has 14 votes including himself, topping Codey’s nine.
