Today the DCCC launched its first TV ad in New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District. The ad, which targets incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-2), will air on Philadelphia broadcast and cable.

Confronted by Democratic challenger Amy Kennedy, Van Drew’s in a dogfight to hold onto his seat.

“Reflection” highlights what the DCCC describes as “Van Drew’s self-serving and politically motivated party switch, in which he abandoned the voters of the 2nd district and declared his ‘undying support’ to Donald Trump. It also exposes Van Drew’s self-dealing with the special interest backers funding his political campaign.”

Jefferson Van Drew pocketed over $700,000 from corporate and special interests, according to the DCCC. And during the coronavirus pandemic, Van Drew voted against oversight of the use of taxpayer funds, giving massive bailouts to the special interests filling his campaign coffers, the ad notes.

InsiderNJ reached out to the Van Drew campaign for comment and is awaiting a response.

“Party-switching Van Drew abandoned the people of South Jersey, pledged his undying support to the president and was rewarded with hundreds of thousands in corporate and special interest donations,” said DCCC Spokesperson Christine Bennett.  “Van Drew is looking out for himself and his donors, not the people of South Jersey, and he will pay the price come November 3^rd.”

Always looking out for Number One.

Party-switching Jeff Van Drew.

Flipping – to pledge his “undying support” to Trump.

And corporate and special interests gave seven-hundred thousand to Van Drew’s desperate campaign.

And when corporate and special interests got huge coronavirus bailouts.

Van Drew voted against oversight of the funds. The taxpayer funds.

South Jersey, Jeff Van Drew switched on you.

Looking out for himself is what he’ll always do.
