Today, Republican State Committee Chairman Doug Steinhardt announced his candidacy for Governor of the state of New Jersey.

Steinhardt made his announcement via a video that can be viewed here.

“I’m running for Governor of the State of New Jersey because family is worth fighting for,” said Steinhardt. “Phil Murphy promised us stronger and fairer, but instead gave us weaker and poorer. His billions in new debt, buckets of new taxes and far-left agenda are tearing our families apart and costing New Jerseyans their lives and livelihoods.

“Unlike others in this race, I am a true conservative. I support President Trump. I’m pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and a fiscal conservative who is proud of his Republican roots. New Jersey is in a bad spot because politicians from both parties avoided making tough decisions,” Steinhardt continued. “These politicians did the easy thing for them and passed the burden on to us. We can’t keep electing Wall Street millionaires or insider politicians and expect a different result. I’m an outsider ready to change the way business is done in Trenton. It’s time to Take Back New Jersey.”
