I'm not sure, but I believe that Ziegler is the lone candidate running for the Republican nomination as of this morning, however, with the political circumstances of Congressman Murphy in doubt, stronger Republican candidates could emerge in the coming weeks and months ahead.

Also, Jumping in Pools just emailed Mr.Ziegler; asking him if he will also seek the Conservative nomination as well. We have received no response as of the publication of this article.
