De Gregorio: “Nothing Will Stop Me from Defending My Home”

Vows Aggressive Campaign for CD5—Newly-Drawn By Partisan Gottheimer Allies

FAIR LAWN – Today, Nick De Gregorio, a Marine Veteran and Republican Candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, released the following statement in response to the newly-drawn New Jersey Congressional map:

“With President Biden’s approval tanking and inflation on the rise, Josh Gottheimer had no choice but to beg his allies on the Redistricting Commission to bail him out with a grossly gerrymandered map,” said De Gregorio.

“But if Gottheimer and his cronies thought they could intimidate me from running, they were dead wrong. I am running, and I will win.

“The Democrats’ radical agenda of higher taxes, reckless spending, defunding the police, and silencing parents will not succeed anywhere in America—and least of all in a district that saw Jack Ciattarelli run neck-and-neck with Phil Murphy despite being massively outspent.

“Home is always worth defending. Just as I fought against our nation’s enemies overseas, I will continue to fight here to preserve and protect this country for my children and all future generations of Americans.”
