Antoinette Miles, Interim State Director for New Jersey Working Families Party, issued the following statement in response to the recent court decision regarding Jersey Freedom:

We applaud the court for its swift action freezing spending from Jersey Freedom in the days leading up to a critical legislative election. The voters of New Jersey deserve fair elections where they can make a decision based on the issues and not be manipulated or deceived into supporting phantom candidates by a dark money group. Jersey Freedom should stop their electoral trickery.

This whole incident reinforces the urgent need for true campaign finance reform to ensure that shadowy interests cannot continue these types of shenanigans in the future.
