In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I am running for Congress because life in New Jersey has become unaffordable and unfair for the very people who work hard, play by the rules, and keep this state running.”
“My favorite quote is, 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.' That's why I do this. That's why I run, that's why I try to make a difference: because it's important to me.”
