5th District Republican Candidate Reaffirms Unwavering
Support for Israel, Jewish People

Hackensack, NJ — Mayor Steve Lonegan is announcing his latest endorsement today from The Jewish Voice and Opinion and the TheJewishVoiceAndOpinion.com, one of the world’s most influential and esteemed publications focusing on issues concerning the Jewish people.

In issuing the endorsement, Susan L. Rosenbluth, editor of The Jewish Voice and Opinion, said of Mayor Lonegan:

“Mr. Lonegan…has a long history of concern for our issues and actions that have gone well beyond the call of duty.”

“…He also has a long history of support for Israel as a Jewish state and the right of all Jews to live anywhere they choose in the state, including in the communities located in Judea and Samaria beyond the so-called ‘Green Line.’”

“We have no doubt that, in Congress, Mr. Lonegan will continue to represent us and all his Fifth District constituents just as eloquently and cogently. We urge all Republicans registered to vote in the upcoming GOP primary to cast their ballots for Mr. Lonegan.”

Mayor Lonegan issued the following statement upon receiving the endorsement:

“I am humbled and honored to receive the endorsement from The Jewish Voice and Opinion; it is an endorsement I take very seriously.”

“The recent events in Syria are another reminder of the volatility in the Middle East, and the constant threats the State of Israel faces every single day from despots across the region.

“Now more than ever, America’s commitment to the only free and democratic state in the Middle East must be unequivocal and unwavering. When I am in Congress, I can assure the Israeli people that they will have no greater friend and that I will do everything in my power to ensure the security of Israel for generations to come.”
