Stami Williams, Communications Director for the Ciattarelli campaign, statement about the cancelation of the PBS Debate on Wednesday:

“Hirsh Singh’s weak decision to back out of this debate – despite previously agreeing to it and knowing all of the rules well in advance – has nothing to do with medical freedom, vaccines, or masks. Hirsh made up these phony excuses to cover up the fact that he has no answer for why he supported Barack Obama, why he shares donors with Hillary Clinton and Phil Murphy, why he has no plan for New Jersey, or why he called police officers terrorists and disparaged women. To defeat Phil Murphy, Republicans need a candidate with real-world experience and a backbone like Jack Ciattarelli. Not a perennial campaign loser who still lives with their parents at 36 years old and doesn’t even pay property taxes.”
