Tim Alexander Statement on Afghanistan, Jeff Van Drew

As the nation and the world watch the heartbreaking scenes from Afghanistan, it is clear that our first mission must be humanitarian.  We must continue to evacuate Americans and our allies safely and securely. U.S. Troops should stay at Kabul Airport until that mission is accomplished.

Jeff Van Drew’s ridiculous calls for resignations of the President, Vice President, and Democratic leaders in Congress  show just how far he’s gone from being a servant dedicated to getting things done for the people of South Jersey regardless of party affiliation. This is not a time for cheap political stunts or pathetic attempts at scoring points. Jeff Van Drew’s calls for resignations  is nothing more than a pathetic stunt by a desperate career politician.

Moreover, using a humanitarian crisis to score political points with party leadership, instead of working towards solutions that best benefit those involved is everything that is wrong with Washington. This is the pattern for Jeff Van Drew. Instead of working to find solutions, Van Drew seeks attention.  South Jersey deserves better, we deserve solution focused leadership and as the next congressman in this district, that’s exactly what I’ll do, which is why I’m running for congress to replace him.
