MARLBORO NJ, the League of Women Voters is holding a candidates’ forum at the Marlboro synagogue this Sunday October 21st . The candidates seeking to represent New Jersey’s sixth congressional district will be there. The incumbent Rep. Frank Pallone, a Democrat who has long represented the area, and challenger Rich Pezzullo, the conservative Republican who is looking to unseat him.
Rep. Pallone and Pezzullo confirmed they will be there. The candidates will be talking about the issues and fielding questions from the public. Pallone has represented New Jersey’s sixth district for years, which stretches from the Woodbridge area into New Brunswick and Aberdeen Twp. and down into Marlboro. It also hugs the northern New Jersey coast and includes the towns of Long Branch and Asbury Park. It’s a reliably blue district, having voted Democratic for years.
Pallone is one of Trump’s loudest critics on the left, while Pezzullo is a Republican who supports President Trump. Pezzullo said he would vote for Trump again if the presidential election was tomorrow.
Pallone is a Sanctuary city , open boarders, raise taxes , government should run your life Liberal.
Pezzullo says on his website , “I am a conservative Republican who has been active in issue advocacy for years. I have spent my lifetime helping others overcome obstacles, build bigger businesses, serve more people in need and make lives better for customers, care recipients, employees and volunteers. The problems that I help solve are frequently caused by overwhelming government regulation. I see the role of a Congressman as advocate for the state – a defender of State’s rights in a capital where the Federal Government tries to make the states subservient.I believe that the Federal Government was created by the states, to serve the states… not the other way around. ”
The event will run 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. at Temple Rodeph Torah, 15 Mohawk Drive in Marlboro, NJ. All are welcome and it is the ideal chance to meet the candidates and hear a discussion on the issues. The forum was organized by Sharon Steinhorn, president of the League of Women Voters of Western Monmouth County, and will be moderated by Marlene Sincaglia, who lives in a different voting district . Audience members will be offered cards on which to submit their questions beforehand. Light refreshments will be served. There is no need to RSVP.
