MAHWAH – Tonight, Frank T. Pallotta, candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, made the following statement in response to the 2019 New Jersey Election Results:

“Josh Gottheimer should be scared: tonight’s results across CD5 show a backlash against the tax and spend policies of Governor Murphy, in which Josh, in his silence, is complicit. I want to especially congratulate our Assemblywomen Holly Schepisi, Betty Lou DeCroce and Assemblymen Bob Auth, Kevin Rooney, Chris DePhillips, Parker Space, Hal Wirths, Jay Webber, Erik Peterson and John DiMaio on their re-elections. Our NJGOP Chairman Doug Steinhardt also deserves credit for the organization he built that led our candidates across the state to victory tonight. Our campaign is proud of the work we did on behalf of our outstanding Republican team this cycle, and we stand ready to harness the great grassroots energy they generated to defeat Josh next November.”
