South Jersey’s Trump-endorsed, Conservative Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew won a decisive victory in tonight’s Republican Primary to officially become the party’s nominee in New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District.

“I would like to thank President Trump for his unwavering support and Republicans throughout South Jersey for the confidence they have placed in me to be their nominee,” said Van Drew. “While the Democrats were tripping over each other to appease the Radical Left in a bitter and divisive primary, our Republican Party came together and is united as we head into the General Election. ”

Two years ago, Jeff Van Drew won 56% of the vote in his Democrat Primary. Tonight, he won over 80% in the Republican Primary.

“Tonight’s results make it crystal clear that Congressman Van Drew’s home has always been right here in the Republican Party,” said Van Drew’s Campaign Manager Ron Filan. “We’re looking forward to South Jersey voters getting to see the stark contrast between Congressman Van Drew’s fight for “A Strong America” and the Democrats’ radical push for the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and Defunding the Police.”

The incumbent, who changed parties this past winter, beat movement conservative Bob Patterson.
