PRESS RELEASE: Congressman Van Drew Fires Back at Governor Murphy over President Trump’s Upcoming Rally in South Jersey

New Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew put Governor Phil Murphy in his place regarding President Trump’s upcoming visit to South Jersey. Van Drew’s press release on the matter follows:

Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew released the following statement in response to Governor Murphy’s comments regarding the President Trump’s upcoming “Keep America Great” Rally at the Wildwoods Convention Center on Tuesday, January 28th. 

"You can add Phil Murphy to the list of reasons why I left the Democrat Party," said Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew. "I didn't vote for him in 2017 and certainly wasn't going to in 2021. Murphy is totally out of touch with the hard working middle class families and retirees here in South Jersey who are benefiting from the Trump economy despite the Governor's best efforts to make New Jersey even more unaffordable. The only thing Murphy should be focused on is working with Republicans and Democrats to find solutions to the problems he caused without raising even more of our taxes."
