MAHWAH – Frank T. Pallotta, candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, released the following statement in response to this week’s Democratic presidential primary debates:

“As the last two nights have shown us, the Democrats are on an alarming, unrepentant path towards socialism. In response to the demands of the far-left ‘Squad’ of Congresswomen, the Democratic presidential candidates have embraced a Medicare for All scheme that would kick 200 million Americans off their private insurance. What has Josh Gottheimer done to stop his colleagues’ embrace of these radical proposals? Nothing. In fact, he’s voted with them over 80% of the time.”
