Leeds Point, NJ – Today marks a historic and somber moment in American history. For the first time, a former President of the United States has been convicted on 34 felony counts. This is not a cause for celebration but a sobering reminder of the principles of justice and accountability that our nation holds dear.

As a former police officer and prosecutor, I am reassured that our justice system remains intact. The conviction of a former President reaffirms that every citizen, regardless of status, is subject to the law and entitled to a fair trial. This should bolster our collective faith in the principle that no one, not even a former President, is above the law.

Jeff Van Drew, as the Chairman of the Trump Campaign for New Jersey, now faces a critical decision. In light of Donald Trump’s conviction, I urge Jeff to resign from this position immediately. Jeff’s troubling history of associating with convicted felons cannot be overlooked. Since taking office as a Congressman, he employed a convicted felon as a campaign consultant, who is now awaiting trial again. Moreover, he successfully advocated for a Pardon from former President Trump on behalf of an individual convicted in a two-hundred million dollar Ponzi scheme, who is also now facing new felony charges.

It is often said that we are defined by the company we keep. Jeff Van Drew must now demonstrate his commitment to law and order by severing ties with Donald Trump and his campaign without delay. The citizens of New Jersey deserve a representative who not only upholds the highest ethical standards but also truly believes in justice for all.
