It’s time we started electing candidates who have the perspective needed to fight for the economic welfare of all New Jersey residents.”

“We have an incredibly talented and balanced ticket with Vinny Panico and Joe Lukac for Assembly,” said Hunterdon County Republican Chairman Gabe Plumer. “I am certain they will go on to win in November and I know they will stand up for the residents of Hunterdon County and New Jersey.”
