De Gregorio Raises $403,000 in Challenge to Gottheimer, Announces Endorsements of LD39 Assembly Members
FAIR LAWN – Today, Nick De Gregorio, a Marine Veteran and Republican Candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, announced that his campaign will report over $403,000 raised on his year-end report for 2021 with $360,000 cash on hand.
“We are grateful to all of our enthusiastic supporters for meeting the great
momentum we are feeling across the Fifth District with the resources we will
need to take on the disastrous Biden agenda – an agenda that has taken
money from our pockets and left families scrambling over the holiday season
to put food on their tables and access COVID-19 tests. This strong quarter
clearly demonstrates that people have grown tired of the inept leadership of
Joe Biden and the pathetic excuses Democrats in Congress like Josh Gottheimer continue to make for him. Real change is coming this November.”

In addition to raising this impressive sum as a first-time candidate since exploring a run in October 2021, De Gregorio proudly announced the endorsement of District 39 Assemblyman Robert Auth (R, Old Tappan) and
Assemblywoman DeAnne DeFuccio (R, Upper Saddle River).
“Nick is our choice to represent us in Congress because we know he will use
the same strength and determination as he did while honorably serving his
country overseas to fight for the Fifth District in Congress,” said Auth and
DeFuccio.
They continued: “Washington is leaderless and broken. Politicians like Joe
Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and their enabler Josh Gottheimer have only made life
harder and more unaffordable for families here in New Jersey. Inflation –
thanks to socialist spending sprees supported by Josh – is spiraling out of
control and press releases and letters just won’t cut it anymore. We need someone with a backbone to stand up and finally say no for all of us.”
