TRENTON, N.J. – Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis is planning to run for New Jersey Senate.
A state Democratic Party official says Lewis will announce his candidacy on Monday.
Lewis has called a 2 p.m. news conference in Burlington County to announce his “political plans.”
His advisory, issued Sunday night, contained no specific details.
However, a party official speaking on condition of anonymity so as not to upstage the 49-year-old Lewis, says the civic activist and four-time medalist plans to run in the 8th legislative district.
