Rich Pezzullo Concedes Defeat to Frank Pallone

On Tuesday night, businessman Rich Pezzullo conceded the race for Congress in New Jersey’s Sixth Congressional District to longtime incumbent Frank Pallone.

“I congratulate the Congressman on his victory, and I urge him to work in the best interests of the people of New Jersey,” Pezzullo told supporters.

“I want to thank everyone who worked for me: whether you knocked doors, made phone calls or donated, I am so deeply humbled that you put your time, money and heart on the line to send me to Congress,” continued Pezzullo. “We fought as hard as we could, but the people spoke and it didn’t go our way.”

Despite the loss, Pezzullo was in high spirits. “It was so heartening to see so many people get involved this year, on both sides of the aisle. This country is in good hands.”

“Elections are designed to settle arguments, not start them. My prayer is that we can come together to decide things as a free people so that we can stay that way. ”
