“You all are the future of the Republican Party. We can’t win unless our message resonates with you. The policies that we embrace have to be the policies that you care about. You’re all of our future. Whether it’s political, cultural, social, or economic. The things that you care about, are the things that we have to care about too. It’s a new day in the Republican Party in New Jersey.”
