MAHWAH – Last night, Frank Pallotta, Republican Candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, made the following statement in response to the Passaic County Regular Republican Organization’s decision to award the Republican Line in the upcoming Republican Primary to political outsider Frank Pallotta:

“I am honored to receive the line tonight in Passaic County! I promise to faithfully represent Passaic County in Washington and ensure the voices of our great District are heard once again. I have spent nearly a year developing dear friendships in Passaic County, and I was proud to campaign with so many of our incredible candidates there this past fall. I am absolutely thrilled to have your support!”

“Frank Pallotta has shown that he is a dynamic candidate with private sector experience and strong values in family and community. On behalf of the entire Passaic County Republican Party, I am proud to support him as he seeks the Republican nomination to defeat Josh Gottheimer in November”. Said Peter Murphy, Chairman of the Passaic County Regular Republican Organization.

“We are proud to support Frank Pallotta as he seeks the nomination for the 5th Congressional District. We know Frank is a strong Republican candidate who is up for the task to take on Josh Gottheimer and bring conservative representation back to the district,” said Joanie Walsh, Vice Chair of the Passaic County Regular Republican Organization.

“Last night, Frank overwhelmingly won the support of the Passaic County Regular Republican Organization’s Executive Committee. It is a testament to his energy as a candidate and desire to be a partner in helping other Republicans get elected and local and county party organizations grow,” continued long-time Pallotta supporter and Passaic County GOP Secretary Matt Conlon.
