Claire Gustafson, the Republican candidate for Congress in CD1, went off on Congressman Donald Norcross via press release today. Her release follows:
Claire Gustafson, Republican candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s First Congressional District, said today that Congressman Donald Norcross is the last person who should be throwing around words like “catastrophic” and “B.S.”
At issue is that according to published reports Donald Norcross, at a press conference at the Bellmawr Postal Service processing center, referred to changes made in Postal Service operations by the Post Master General as “catastrophic” and said, “It’s B.S.”
“It’s laughable that Congressman Donald Norcross would refer to anything as catastrophic when the real catastrophe in our congressional district was created by him,” Claire Gustafson said. “In February 2014, when he announced his first run for Congress, Norcross bragged that he ‘led the charge on getting the Economic Opportunity Act passed into law,’ the very law that led to his family and friends getting $550 Million in tax breaks.”
Gustafson continued, “Norcross went on to refer to Postal Service changes as ‘B.S.’ when we all know the real B.S. comes from his mouth every time he mentions being a union electrician when he hasn’t set foot on a job site in around 20 years. I interact with union labor more at industry trade shows for my business on job sites more often than he does.”
Gustafson added, “The catastrophic B.S. is local media allowing Donald Norcross to back away from his early bragging about the role he played in passing the law that ensured his family and friends got all those tax breaks. It must be nice to be part of the political cartel that rules South Jersey, the media even gave Norcross a free pass when he compared Camden City workers to children while backing up Holtec’s owner after he made controversial comments.”
Gustafson continued, “Many of those tax incentives created by the law Norcross bragged about passing could have been used to help other areas of the district that are hurting. Imagine if businesses were helped move to the area of the Paulsboro Port. We might be bringing in steel from Brazil rather than wasting opportunity on Russian steel and taxpayers might finally be getting a return on their $255 million investment. Instead Donald Norcross worked hard in the state Senate to get tax breaks for his family and friends in Camden. As a member of Congress he seems to forget the district runs south to the Gloucester County Border with Salem County. He represents more than just the political cartel that rules South Jersey.”
“It’s time to put an end to the catastrophic B.S. created by Norcross and the political cartel he happens to be a member of and that’s why I’m running for Congress,” Gustafson said.
