The Josh Welle For Congress Team raised over $180,000 in fundraising figures for the race to unseat 37-year Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4).

Team Welle raised $180,000 in just 12 weeks, when the candidate announced.

“It’s clear to me that New Jersey’s 4th District is ready for a representative who listens and leads,” said Welle. “We’ve had the same Congressman for a generation. It’s time for fresh faces in Washington that hold modern convictions and believe in ethical, principled leadership that speaks for everyone.”
