“On June 6th Democratic voters in New Jersey have a choice,” said Johnson. “They can vote for someone who has jumped in line with the insiders and has used millions of his Goldman Sachs fortune to try and buy this election, or they can vote for me. Public service is at my core, and throughout my career, I have challenged the powerful on behalf of the people — and won. And as Governor, I will continue my long-standing fight for justice and opportunity to build a government that puts the needs of all New Jersey families first.”
Johnson, a former federal prosecutor, Under Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, and chair of the Brennan Center for Justice, was the first candidate in the primary to qualify for and receive public matching funds, and has also called for a spending cap in the New Jersey primary. The third television advertisement is already on the air.
