Malinowski Statement on State of CD7 Race

(Rocky Hill, NJ) Today Linda Weber suspended her campaign for Congress positioning Tom Malinowski as the frontrunner in the CD7 Democratic primary to challenge Rep. Lance in the general election. Malinowski released the following statement:

“I am grateful to Linda Weber for the dedication and passion she brought to this race. Voters in the 7th district know that this is the year to defeat Leonard Lance, and that is due in no small part to Linda’s spirited campaign, strong advocacy for women’s representation, and ardent opposition to Donald Trump. She has made me a better candidate and it is my sincere hope that she will continue to champion the issues that brought her into this race.

I am committed to doing the hard work of being worthy of her supporters, who demonstrated such inspiring loyalty to their candidate.  We share the same values and must be a unified party to win in November. We will need the support, guidance, and expertise of all those who have seen Linda through the last year of her campaign.  I look forward to our dialogues over the next weeks and months and am grateful to have the opportunity to build a unified team.

There is nothing more important than defeating Leonard Lance, and if we keep our sights on that goal I have no doubt we will accomplish it together.”
