MAHWAH NJ, Frank Pallotta, Republican Candidate for New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, made the following statement in response to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) running out of available funds after Democrats blocked a clean bill that would provide for a $250 billion replenishment:
“While the leader of his Party holds up legislation that has so far given 1.6 million small businesses an average of $207,000 to keep their workers employed, Josh Gottheimer should feel the pain, too. Until he can motivate Nancy Pelosi on behalf of our district to go back to Washington and make a deal, Josh should forgo his paycheck – just as millions in our district will be forced to do without the aid of this program.”

Dear Governor Murphy,
We recognize the incredibly difficult challenges you face every day as our beloved State battles the COVID-19 crisis. We have and remain supportive of you and your Administration as we go through this trying time together.
Your decision to close our State parks, however, is wrong for public health and our State’s residents. Your complete closure of parks appears to be based purely on anecdote and without any data or health science to support that decision. As you have repeatedly observed, access to fresh air and exercise for our citizenry, especially during this stressful time, is paramount. For that reason, safely and responsibly using our State’s open spaces should continue to be encouraged, not prohibited.
