Ramsey NJ, Today, Frank Pallotta, Republican candidate for New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, issued the following statement:
“All Americans can agree that the shocking death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer was sickening, and unacceptable.

Our treasured First Amendment protects the rights of all Americans to lift their voices in prayer and protest for change,” said Pallotta.

MAHWAH NJ, Last Thursday, Republican Candidate for Congress Frank Pallotta, formally kicked-off his campaign for Congress to a robust crowd of over 100 supporters in the candidate’s hometown of Mahwah, NJ. The event took place on the anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s birthday – the candidate’s political hero.
In his speech, Pallotta slammed incumbent Josh Gottheimer’s vote for the sham impeachment process against President Trump and for failing to deliver for the people of New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District:
“Josh has dubbed himself the leader of the “Problem Solvers’ Caucus”. But after three years in Washington, I have a question for the Congressman: How can you claim to be part of the solution, when you are part of the problem?” said Pallotta.
