SURRENCY: A CENSURE, LAWSUIT, AND OTHER INTIMIDATION TACTICS THE PRICE TO PAY WHEN CHALLENGING POWER 

 Says Hail Mary Tactics Will Not Quiet the Fight 

(BRIDGETON, NJ) – Cumberland County Freeholder Jack Surrency today released the following statement in response to the desperation Hail Mary attempts coming from the listless Cumberland County Democratic Organization:

“We have a COVID problem in our county jail. I brought this issue to light, and aggressively fought for PPE, testing, treatment and tracking. The county rejected those policies, putting our public employees and inmates at risk.

“When a slate of candidates challenge power in an unprecedented way, they cowardly  respond with a censure, a lawsuit, and other intimidation tactics that have nothing to do with protecting our community or restoring our economy.

“On the lawsuit, I will be speaking with legal counsel on the specific allegations. 

“This entire campaign has been built upon the fight for truth, accountability, and the hardworking people of Cumberland County.

“Last time I checked, attacks don’t solve a public health emergency, create jobs, expand recreation opportunities or increase access to healthcare. Attacks are the byproduct of a campaign incapable of communicating  a message that defines what it believes and who it fights for.

“They may want to talk about me, however, I want to talk about my community. That’s who I fight for.”
