2013 N.J. Special Senate Election Debates: on Technology


Rush Holt: Research physicist at Princeton Plasma Physics Lab until '98

Holt brought in $2.1 million in campaign contributions in the 2011-2012 election cycle. A research physicist who was assistant director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory before he entered the House in 1998, Holt received a combined $42,000 from employees of Princeton University, which operates the lab, making them his biggest donor group.

At the plasma physics lab, Holt was responsible for institutional planning and government relations, and created the science education department, lab spokeswoman Kitta MacPherson said. "As a member of Congress, he has continued to take an active interest in the laboratory and has visited on a number of occasions to keep up to date on its progress," she said.
