RIDGEWOOD N.J. – Congressman Bill Pascrell (D) has endorsed Thomas Duch for State Senate and Paul Vagianos and Christine Ordway for State Assembly in District 40.

“I’ve known Tom Duch for years, and no-one is better prepared to lead the 40th District,” said Pascrell. “District 40 has suffered under four decades of neglect – it’s time for a change.”

District 40 has been held by Republicans since the 40-district legislative map was made in 1973. It is the only district in New Jersey that has never elected a Democrat.

“We are honored by the esteemed Congressman’s endorsement.  Everyone knows that no one works harder for New Jersey than Bill Pascrell.  We look forward to working with him to make New Jersey the best it can be,” said Tom Duch.

“Support is growing for our campaign everyday,” said Paul Vagianos. “Having Congressman Pascrell’s endorsement is evidence of our campaign’s strength.  We thank him and appreciate
his support.”
