Assemblyman Guy Gregg, who lost Tuesday night in his State Senate bid, said he stayed away from this morning’s Sussex County GOP unity breakfast because the 24th legislative district includes three counties, and any appeal to unity should include tri-party representation.

Admittedly disappointed, angry and shocked, he also didn’t want to remount the stage and be forced to emote publicly so soon after a bitter loss.

"I gave my concession speech Tuesday and I didn’t feel compelled to give it again," said the 13-year Assemblyman from Morris County.
