Earlier today, Mike Testa, Jr. a candidate for state senate in the 1st District, filed a complaint on behalf of Cape May County Sheriff Bob Nolan in his battle against the Murphy Administration’s attempt to scuttle the county’s 287(g) agreement with ICE.  Statements from Testa and Sheriff Nolan are below.

“The fact that Senator Andrzejczak never picked up the phone, called Sheriff Nolan, and offered his help in this matter is embarrassing. That’s his job! Being Senator isn’t about issuing press releases and letting your staff speak for you. It about taking action and advocating on behalf of your constituents. This Sanctuary State directive and Phil Murphy’s radical liberal agenda are a direct threat to public safety and we need a Senator willing to push back and do everything in his or her power to defend our communities. Senator Andrzejczak simply has not done that on this issue or countless others. He is voting with Phil Murphy’s agenda 95% of the time. Sending out a random press release complaining about the Governor isn’t independence; it’s window dressing.”

 Statement from Sheriff Nolan

“It’s disappointing that Senator Andrzejczak has decided to stay on the sidelines on this issue.  A press release isn’t advocacy.  It’s checking a box.  The people of Cape May County are under attack by a far-left Governor and Trenton Democrats who care more about pleasing their extreme political base than they do protecting neighborhoods and schools.  I appreciate Mike Testa taking the initiative to join with us and bringing his time and talents to this fight against the Sanctuary State directive.”
