OLYMPIC CHAMP CARL LEWIS OFF AND RUNNING FOR NEW JERSEY STATE SENATE
Mr. Lewis is driven by two powerful initiatives--education and service.
He is an impressive candidate who has already honored his country. New Jersey is lucky to have him.
One of the most impressive things about Carl Lewis is that he rose to the top of his field at the time when his competition was juicing up with illegal drugs. To his credit, he remained clean--a purem hard working and disciplined athlete.
When his athletic career was over, he continued to be an ambassador for his nation by motivating the young. He served as a volunteer at his high school in New Jersey. To me, that says it all.
