This morning, the Philadelphia Inquirer endorsed Republican Kate Gibbs in the Third Congressional District. Citing Gibbs' appeal to a wide array of voters, the Philadelphia Inquirer said:

“Gibbs is a mainstream Republican more in sync with her politically diverse district. Gibbs is savvy, yet her down-to-earth manner has served her well while explaining that her arrests for shoplifting, marijuana possession, and beer on the beach were little more than a young person’s misadventures. We take Gibbs at her word when she claims to have learned from her mistakes.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board joins House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, former Congressman Tom MacArthur, former Senator Diane Allen, Assemblyman Ryan Peters, Assemblywoman Jean Stanfield, and an enthusiastic group of New Jersey Republican leaders in supporting Gibbs.

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board, and thank them for sitting down with me to discuss this race,” said Gibbs. “I am glad that they see what everyone else is increasingly seeing — that David Richter cannot attract the voters needed to cross the finish line in November. I am confident that I can appeal to a broad coalition of voters needed to win the general election and bring another true conservative voice to Washington D.C.”
