Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino went after Assemblywomen Pam Lampitt and Gabriela Mosquera for being ‘do as we say not as we do’ South Jersey Democrats. His [press release follows:

HADDON HEIGHTS – Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino asked today when Camden County’s Democrat Assemblywomen were going to end their hypocrisy.

At issue is a recent press release issued by Assemblywomen Pam Lampitt and Gabriela Mosquera heralding a bill offering support to victims of violence and abuse.

“While I agree victims of violence and abuse should be supported, I question the level of support Assemblywomen Lampitt and Mosquera actually provide to victims of violence and abuse, Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino said. “Both Assemblywomen sat silently on the sidelines when the news of former Assemblyman Arthur Barclay’s arrest for a domestic incident broke.”

Ambrosino asked, “Where was their support for the former Assemblyman’s girlfriend after he punched her in the face?”

Ambrosino explained, “In their press release Lampitt said, ‘Each year, 10 million Americans will be physically abused by their partners, over 430,000 will be sexually assaulted and nearly 5 million seniors will experience elder abuse. These numbers are appalling and simply cannot be ignored.’”

“For once I agree with Lampitt, those numbers cannot be ignored.” Ambrosino continued, “It’s time for Lampitt to explain to the residents of her district why she chose to ignore the fact that an Assemblyman admitted to punching his girlfriend.”

“Did Assemblywomen Lampitt and Mosquera ignore the Barclay arrest because he’s in their party? Are they ignoring the fact he still has a county job because he’s in their party? Are Assemblywomen Lampitt and Mosquera happy with being silent hypocrites,” Ambrosino asked.

“This is just another example of the ‘do as we say not as we do’ South Jersey Democrats in action,” Ambrosino said.

I know no one will out work Claire,” Acting Stratford Republican Club President Rob Stone said. “From her days on the school board to stepping up to the plate every time the party has needed her, Claire has laid the foundation necessary to build the organization needed to compete against the Norcross political machine. I’m proud to join former Councilman John Dudley and others in endorsing Claire.”

PRESS RELEASE: Atlantic City’s Fernandez Endorses Richter for Congress

Republican candidate for Congress in CD2, David Richter, announced an endorsement from the Atlantic City Republican Club President. Richter’s press release follows:

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – David Richter, Republican candidate running to represent New Jersey’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, announced today that he has received the endorsement of Atlantic City Republican Club President Fernando Fernandez.

Atlantic City, located in Atlantic County, has approximately 40,000 residents.  It is the third largest municipality in the Second District which includes all of Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Salem counties, as well as parts of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Ocean counties.

Fernandez said, “I am supporting David’s campaign for a very simple reason: he is the only Republican in this race who can beat Jeff Van Drew.  He has a record of accomplishment and the fundraising ability to not just make this a competitive race but to actually unseat Van Drew and help give the Republican Party a majority in the House next year.”

“I am very grateful to Fernando for his support and for joining my effort to return the Second District to Republican control,” said Richter.  “Jeff Van Drew is one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents in Congress and I am the only Republican candidate in this race that can defeat him next November,” Richter added.

President Donald Trump won the district by five points in 2016 and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Hugin won it by ten points in 2018, while Van Drew barely won the district last year with only 52.9% of the vote despite outspending his Republican opponent by more than six-to-one.

“Despite running as an alleged conservative Democrat, Van Drew has voted with Speaker Nancy Pelosi 91% of the time and with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 84% of the time.  He is voting against the interests of small and family-owned businesses, he is voting against the interests of law-abiding gun owners, and he is voting against the interests of working families.  The citizens of South Jersey need a real conservative in Congress who will work hard for smaller government, lower taxes and secure borders, and who will fight to protect, not undermine, their constitutional rights,” added Richter.
