Kennedy Campaign Responds to Brigid Harrison’s Call
to the Trump Admin for Election Monitoring

Brigantine, NJ – Today, Brigid Callahan Harrison chose to bypass state election monitoring to call on the Trump administration to monitor a Democratic primary election in Atlantic County. In response, Josh Roesch, Campaign Manager for Amy Kennedy for Congress, released the following statement.

We are all in favor of election monitoring across the board in NJ2 to make sure that all people’s rights to vote are protected in the middle of this pandemic.  What we won’t stand for and what the people of South Jersey shouldn’t stand for is Brigid preemptively trying to call into question results of an election she knows she’s going to lose by using the same dog-whistle, racist tactics employed by Donald Trump to suppress the vote in minority communities and to scare and intimidate African-American voters.  I guess no one is surprised that Brigid uses the Trump playbook since she supported Chris Christie over Barack Obama for President, which is probably why she sent her letter directly to the U.S. attorney, who was Christie’s personal defense lawyer during Bridgegate.
