Ridgewood NJ, Congressman Garrett has consistently worked to advance legislation that helps grow our economy and create jobs in New Jersey. He played a central role in crafting the Financial CHOICE Act, the Republican plan to replace the failed Dodd-Frank Act and promote economic growth. This legislation would promote higher economic growth without bailouts, reduce the risk of crises, and simplify the regulatory process by emphasizing market mechanisms operating through the rule of law.
In contrast, Josh Gottheimer’s career has been defined by taking advantage of his Clinton connections. His fundraising disclosures shows how he is leveraging the Clinton Network to help buy his way into Congress.
But this is not the first time that Mr. Gottheimer has called upon the Clinton universe to advance his career. As a matter of fact, it’s not even the second or third time. It turns out that Josh Gottheimer has spent his entire career as a Clinton lackey, leveraging their network to land jobs at Ford, Burson Marsteller, the Federal Communications Commission, and Microsoft.
Vying to be the congressional representative for New Jersey’s Fifth District is frankly a bit comical, because it’s hard for us to believe that Washington insider Josh Gottheimer’s loyalty would be to anyone other than the people who’ve made his career: the Clintons and Washington’s special interests.
Josh Gottheimer has made a career out of leveraging his connections to the Clinton family, but those connections don’t come for free.
As with any quintessential crime family, the Clintons will do you a favor, and someday, they’ll call upon you to do a service for them.
It looks like Josh Gottheimer has been more than willing to live by the rules of the Clinton cartel: during Mr. Gottheimer’s tenure at Microsoft, Bill Clinton was paid $225,000 to give one speech.
Well done, Josh. We’re sure you made The Family proud.
Voters of the Fifth District are understandably concerned about where Josh Gottheimer’s loyalties lie. But Mr. Gottheimer has been incredibly clear all along: everything he has, he owes to the Clinton family. They are his first and only constituency, and he is their loyal soldier.
