Pinkett Says He’d Consider N.J. Lieutenant Governor Post

TRENTON, N.J.

 

Reality TV star Randal Pinkett says he’ll consider running for lieutenant governor in New Jersey when and if an offer is made.

 

The season 4 “Apprentice” winner told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he had met with Gov. Jon Corzine, but the governor has not asked him to be his running mate.

 

“I am extremely honored to be among the people he is considering to join the ticket,” said Pinkett, an African-American businessman who co-chaired Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s transition team. “The governor did not offer me the lieutenant governorship. My family and I reserve the right, if it were to be offered, that I would then decide whether this is the right time for me to enter public life.”
