It’s official. Ray Lesniak is going all-in to become the governor of New Jersey.

The long-time state senator decided to end months on-again, off-again flirtation with a statewide campaign, and finally filed paperwork last Wednesday to run for governor with the New Jersey State Election Law Enforcement Commission.

Lesniak will face Democrat Phil Murphy and Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who are the current favorites to win their respective party’s nominations. Republican Guadagno, however, has yet to announce if she will seek the gubernatorial seat.

Lesniak, a proponent of gambling expansions in New Jersey, had indicated in 2015 that he will not seek reelection in the legislature he has served for close to four decades. But the Democratic state senator had waffled on his bid for the state’s top office that will be vacated by Chris Christie.
