Statement from Senator Oroho and Assemblyman DiMaio on the 2021 Elections

TRENTON, NJ – November 12, 2021 – Senator Steve Oroho and Assemblyman John DiMaio released the following statement on the 2021 Elections in New Jersey.

“We’d like to thank Jack Ciattarelli for waging a tough fight and exceeding the expectations set by New Jersey’s liberal pollsters and media.

Here’s the deal: when we run smart campaigns with the right candidates who articulate a clear message, our wins in the Senate and Assembly prove we can compete anywhere and everywhere.  We won three tough seats in the Senate and likely flipped six seats in the Assembly, but we won’t be content until Republicans are in the majority in two years.  More than New Jersey Republicans being ‘alive and well’, our Republican legislative team has developed the blueprint for our party’s success, both now and in the future.

New Jersey Republicans can no longer be content to be in the minority or to merely ‘compete’ in elections – we need to win them, just like we did last week all over the state.  This is a new era for Republicans in New Jersey and now is the time to capitalize on our legislative victories to look forward, not back.  It is time for new leadership and fresh ideas in Trenton, and as the incoming leaders in the Republican caucuses, we are ready for the challenge.  

Here is our promise to the voters of New Jersey: last week, we heard your message and we will fight like hell to get the Trenton Democrats’ liberal hands out of ou
