New Jersey’s longtime state Senate president, Democrat Steve Sweeney lost reelection, falling to a Republican newcomer who spent little money and underscoring Democratic woes in the Biden era. Edward Durr, a furniture company truck driver and first-time officeholder, defeated Sweeney in New Jersey’s 3rd Legislative District, according to results tallied Thursday.[/quote]

*Correction

But this year, Durr defeated him, [b]spending $2,300, according to an Election Law Enforcement Commission[/b] document filed online on Thursday. Earlier reports had shown he had spent just $153.31 on his campaign.[/quote]
I wonder how much free advertising he got off his lie about spending $153. [/quote]

It wasn’t a lie, but nice try.  That was from his preliminary campaign-finance disclosure.  By the end of his campaign, he had spent $2313.70.

Mr. Durr lit up social media this week with the detail that his campaign cost just $153, according to preliminary campaign finance disclosures, which showed about half the money was spent at Dunkin’. Amended filings posted late Wednesday show his committee spent $2,313.70—far less than the $1,061,957 that Mr. Sweeney’s committee spent on polls, advertisements, consultants and fliers.
