Statement

“For too long the residents of New Jersey have been let down by their state government. Tax increase after tax increase has made our state less desirable for job growth and has burdened the middle class and the poor to levels never seen before. I will be a voice for the People and will be fully devoted to working with democrats, independents, and republicans to make sure that every tax dollar is wisely spent and that the People of New Jersey get the government they deserve,” stated Assembly candidate Justin Tibbetts.

“I look forward to running a positive campaign that focuses upon solutions to our state’s many challenges. This campaign is not about me, it is for the People of our district. In the coming weeks, I will be presenting a detailed platform elaborating upon my ideas for property tax relief, term limits, promoting economic development, and protecting the environment for our residents.”
