Woodbridge NJ, As the Democratic machine attempts to maintain control of Middlesex County with dangerous sanctuary policies, Sheriff candidate Anthony Gallo continues to take the lead on no-sanctuary policies, as this has been a part of his initial platform. “This sanctuary state is what initiated me to get into the race for Sheriff in the first place. As the election moved forward, I initially called for the arrest of Attorney General Grewal for harboring these criminal illegals. Now, I see that Sheriffs in Monmouth, Cape May and Sussex are also resisting AG Grewal’s Immigrant directive. I have attended dozens of events throughout Middlesex County over the past 8 months and have spoken to thousands of people on the sanctuary state, it is my opinion that at least 80-90% do not want these criminals running around in their communities with their children. As soon as I mention my stance on this subject I immediately get “You got my vote”, even from many Democrats.
