Paterson NJ, The 9th district is represented by Democrat Bill Pascrell, who resides in Paterson. Congressman Pascrell was first elected to Congress in 1996 from the old 8th district, defeating incumbent William J. Martini. The redistricting resulted in Pascrell’s hometown of Paterson being added to the 9th district, which had been represented by Steve Rothman, a fellow Democrat who like Pascrell entered Congress by winning a seat in the 1996 federal election. Both incumbents declared their intentions to run for their party’s nomination for the seat, which Pascrell won. Pascrell defeated Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, the Republican nominee, in the general election.

Linwood NJ, former gubernatorial,candidate Joseph Rudy Rullo commented on the close vote count in the GOP Senatorial primary and explained the situation in a comment on Facebook on Saturday

“Thank you to all my supporters who worked so hard to elect Hirsh Singh in GOP primary to remove Cory Booker from politics. We will not know who the winner is most likely until July 22nd. This will be when all ballots are counted for those who voted in person. Many mail in ballots coming in until next Tuesday deadline will not even be counted until that Wednesday. Hirsh has almost 80% of the vote in 4 of the most Republican counties and if this trend continues in combination of even more new ballots to count numbers will change significantly. Nobody has any idea of how many people actually voted until all mail in ballots are received, so how can you even figure out mathematically. The universe of voters is not constant. Its variable. We have no idea what the outcome will be. This is the reason why myself and Hirsh Singh disagreed with Rik Mehta team about Vote by mail ballots which they support. We opposed vote by mail from the beginning and wanted voters to go to polls using voting machines. It is a complete disaster!”

Old Bridge NJ,  Mark Razzoli, candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District released the following statement after calls for statues of Jesus to be torn down:

“Where has our country gone? Statues toppled, parts of cities destroyed or taken over. The mob mentality of those who are shaming us for loving our country and guilting us into silence have but one agenda – destroy democracy and capitalism. What started as a call for equality and to hold rogue police officers accountable has become something very different – anarchy. The goal – usher in a socialist society and destroy America.  Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, WE have always cherished our freedom and come together thru love of country. Destroying monuments and now calls to destroy statues of Jesus are not based on fighting for black people to achieve equality. It’s based on destroying the fabric of our country. We cannot remain silent. Whether you are Black or White. Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or any other religion – we all lose if socialism grow
