Joint statement from female New Jersey State Legislators Kristin Corrado (LD-40), BettyLou DeCroce (LD-26), Serena DiMaso (LD-13), Aura Dunn (LD-25), Nancy Muñoz (LD-21), Holly Schepisi (LD-39), and Jean Stanfield (LD-8) in support of Kate Gibbs for Congress.

Stats have continually shown that women are under-represented in New Jersey. We know all too well the obstacles that women face, and ultimately overcome, to get elected. Just as we are grateful to the women who blazed the trail before us, we are equally committed to supporting the most qualified candidates who will strengthen our State and the Republican Party.

Kate Gibbs is a dedicated public servant with a proven track record of delivering for the people of New Jersey. As a former Burlington County Freeholder Director, with deep roots in the district, Kate enacted policies to support working mothers and led the equal pay for equal work fight.

Kate has repeatedly proven herself to be a strong candidate. Only five weeks after announcing her candidacy for Congress, she raised nearly $150,000, quickly secured endorsements from national organizations and made the NRCC’s Young Guns List. All Republicans should take note of these accomplishments.

The constituents of New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District and New Jersey voters deserve a candidate like Kate Gibbs. We are confident that Kate’s record of dedicated public service and genuine commitment to her constituents will resonate with voters and ultimately prevail.

For these reasons, we are undoubtedly supporting Kate Gibbs for Congress. We agree with Kate – she should not step aside for anyone.

We look forward to supporting her in the coming months and standing beside her every step of the way.
