Montvale NJ, Montvale Mayor and Republican candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District, Mike Ghassali has raised $861,000 for his challenge to Rep. Josh Gottheimer. Ghassali raised $560,000 in the 4th Quarter of 2019 and has $728,000 cash on hand. For the 2nd straight quarter he out raised his nearest primary opponent by a more than 2-1 margin.
“We are sending a clear message to Josh Gottheimer and the Democratic establishment that we will fight as hard as we can to take back this seat. Josh has failed the people of the district with his lies and flip flopping on issues.” Stated Ghassali. “His vote to impeach the President shows he is kept on a short leash by Nancy Pelosi and that he is not the moderate that he claims to be.”

Montvale NJ, New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District appears to many national political observers to be a Democrat lock at this point, given the massive war chest maintained by two-term incumbent Josh Gottheimer, who presents an image of being a moderate. Not far in the past, however, the district was a long-time Republican stronghold, with the seat being held by a very conservative congressman, Scott Garrett, for 14 years until he lost it in 2016 to Gottheimer.

A fresh face with conservative bonafides and considerable, current political experience is the GOP’s best chance to take back this congressional seat, which covers all of Sussex and Warren counties, as well as a substantial portion of Bergen County and a part of Passaic county.
