State Senator Troy Singleton released the following statement in response to the endorsement by Sussex County Republicans, including Assemblyman Parker Space, of Bob Hugin:

“The news that Bob Hugin accepted Assemblyman Parker Space’s endorsement is a straightforward indication of what he stands for – and even worse – what he doesn’t. By aligning himself with racism and bigotry, he is sending a clear message that if he were elected to the U.S. Senate, he would stand with those that willfully and blindly adhere to the menacing, bullying policies of the Trump Administration. Instead, New Jersey needs a voice that will continue to stand up and not divide; one that will disavow hate speech and not encourage it; and one that will say once and for all, take your hate elsewhere.”
