Ramsey NJ, Republican Congressional Candidate Frank Pallotta (N.J. – 05) released the following statement on the heels of the Bergen County Republican Organization Convention:
“Two years ago, I won the Republican Party’s nomination for Congress by standing up against pay-for-play corrupt politics and taking my case directly to the voters.
“With yet another Bergen County Republican Organization ‘rigged’ convention behind us, I look forward to winning the hearts and minds of voters once again in this June’s primary.
“The Fifth Congressional District encompasses three counties: Passaic, Sussex, and Bergen and I am proud to have the endorsement of the Passaic County Republican Organization and the Sussex County Republican Committee’s screening committee. In fact, I am the only candidate who has been consistently campaigning across all three counties and talking to voters.
“My campaign is filled with impassioned, proud, ethical people who are not intimidated by party bosses and will not engage in the old way of doing business in New Jersey. We are outsiders who see our nation in a state of crisis. We are grappling with record inflation; skyrocketing fuel costs; a supply chain in disarray; and a dictator on the march. The old way of doing business just won’t work.
“We need a change in Washington and need to rid our party of anyone who does not stand for principled Republican values. Those who continue the way of politics as usual where party support can be bought and sold, need to be shown the door.
“I never stopped running after the last Congressional race. I am in this until the end and am looking forward to a rematch with Congressman Gottheimer.”
Another NJ pol who is “standing up” against pay to play and fighting against “rigged elections”. No better way to get Gottheimer re-elected.
To call the Bergen County Republican Party an “Organization” is an assault on the word.
They don’t even have a basic website that works.
Whatever Zisa touches he destroys.
It doesn’t matter what campaign Pallottta runs on.
Gothheimer will get reelected because we are too stupid to vote for our own self-interests.
Zisa is a bad poster boy for the county GOP but Yudin single handedly wrecked the organization during his reign of error.
