WEST ORANGE MAYOR AND ELECTED OFFICIALS URGE JOSH GOTTHEIMER TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR, PLEDGE SUPPORT IF HE RUNS

WEST ORANGE, N.J. — Today, a number of prominent West Orange elected officials and community leaders urged Josh Gottheimer to run for Governor in 2025. West Orange Mayor Susan McCartney,  former Mayor Rob Parisi, and Deputy Mayor Rodolfo Rodriguez,  pledge their support for Josh to run for Governor in 2025:

“As elected officials and leaders in our communities, we know that Josh Gottheimer is the right choice to be our next Governor. Josh has a long and remarkable record of getting things done for Jersey —Josh’s family is from West Orange; his father attended West Orange High School and remembers going to Pal’s Cabin with his family.”

“As Governor, we know that Josh will work not only for West Orange but for every single family in New Jersey, just as he’s done in Congress.  He is a Jersey guy committed to protecting our Jersey Values; from expanding the Child Tax Credit to passing historic gun safety legislation, to standing by our small businesses and advocating for our first responders, Josh has shown that he cares deeply about the safety, education, and success of our families. He is a principled fighter for us and we know he will continue to fight for us.

We all want safe communities, lower taxes, and more affordable childcare – and, we believe, Josh is the right person to get the job done. He is all about fighting for Jersey.  It’s time he represents all of us as our next Governor, and we’ll be proud to stand with him.”
