Today, Josh Gottheimer announced his campaign for Governor of New Jersey had raised $1.66 million in its first six weeks. The substantial haul qualifies his campaign for public matching funds and puts it on track to receive the full available match.

“New Jersey families know that as Governor, Josh will be focused singularly on lowering costs and lowering taxes, and putting more money back into their pockets,” said Peter Opitz, Gottheimer campaign spokesperson. “Voters want a Governor that will take on and solve the toughest problems, including driving down the cost of child care and utility bills, making housing more affordable, and helping their families get by every month. They know Josh is the right leader for the job. As the ‘Lower Taxes, Lower Costs’ Governor, Josh will always fight for Jersey families.”

More than 130 federal, state, and local officials, unions, and community leaders have endorsed Gottheimer’s campaign for Governor. Learn more about Josh’s campaign at Josh4Jersey.com.
