Gibbs responds to Richter personal attacks in new TV ad

Congressional candidate Kate Gibbs acknowledges that she made mistakes as a college student in a new TV ad the slams GOP primary rival David Richter for a smear campaign.

Script: “David Richter can’t beat me on the issues, so he attacks me personally. Here are the facts.  I made some dumb decisions as a college kid and I’ve owned up to them. But that immature girl isn’t the one running for Congress today. This conservative woman is. I cut property taxes. I’ll stand with President Trump. And I’ll drain the swamp of Pro Biden, Pro China elitists like David Richter. Who want to go to Congress to serve themselves, not you. Let’s do this.”

Angelo Lamberto, Gibbs’ campaign manager, said the ad will run on cable television.  He declined to say how much money the campaign is putting behind the ad.

The ad includes a photo of Gibbs as a college student.

Gibbs is a former Burlington County freeholder director who works for the Operating Engineers Local 825.  Richter is a former CEO of Hill International, one of the nation’s largest construction firms.

 “Kate Gibbs is the authentic, honest, and relatable candidate we need to take on and defeat Andy Kim this November,” said Lamberto. “We won’t beat Andy Kim this November by nominating a failed businessman, silver spoon elitist like David Richter who repeatedly trashes President Trump, has ties to the Bidens, offices in China, and is registered to vote in his 4th congressional district in 18 months.”
