“On the heels of Darcy Draeger’s statement that Phil Murphy is ‘probably going to be a one-term governor’, it appears her running mate Lisa Bhimani also wants nothing to do with him. While we can’t blame our opponents – his tax-and-spend policies are crippling New Jersey, after all – unfortunately their refusal to take a position on his budget that raises taxes and spending by billions has left them in a total no-mans-land,” said Rob Costello, Bucco and Bergen campaign manager.

“Perhaps if Murphy offered to campaign with her on Park Avenue in Manhattan, where she pretended to live in order to receive a tax break, she’d welcome him with open arms. But when it comes to the 25th district, Bhimani and Draeger know that attaching themselves to his far-left, out-of-touch agenda is a surefire way to sink their flailing campaign.”
