State Senator Chris Brown (R-2) today announced his support for South Jersey engineer Hirsh Singh in his campaign for Congress in New Jersey’s Second Congressional District. Brown said in a statement:

“I am happy to join with the grassroots members of the Atlantic County Republican Party in endorsing Hirsh Singh for Congress.  I’m honored to be a member of a party that is inclusive and demonstrating diversity by supporting the first Indian-American Congressional candidate from the Second District.

“Washington could use a breath of fresh air, and Hirsh has the talent, background, and common sense approach to be a strong advocate for our local, middle class families and rise above the gridlock to get things done for South Jersey.”

Singh accepted Brown’s endorsement saying, “No one has represented South Jersey and Atlantic County in the state Legislature better than Senator Chris Brown.  Winning his endorsement truly sets our campaign apart. I am humbled and honored to have the support of such a strong community leader and veteran like Senator Chris Brown.”

In his quest to succeed U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-2), Singh has won the support of the Burlington County Republican Committee, the Ocean County Republican Organization, the Camden County Republican Committee, and the Atlantic County Republican Committee.
