Attorney David Burg has dropped his bid for the Republican nomination for Congress in New Jersey’s 4th district and endorsed Mike Blasi’s primary challenge to the 21-term incumbent, Rep. Christopher Smith (R-Manchester).
“Running for Congress also has opened my eyes to the astonishingly corrupt political system in this state,” Burg stated. “I find it shocking and wholly unacceptable that a small cabal of entrenched insiders determines whom the Republican Party will endorse for political office – which these operatives then publish on the very ballot through which we exercise our right to vote.
Burg, a former attorney for NBC Universal, was making his first bid for public office.
“It has been a tremendous privilege and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life to run for Congress,” said Burg. “Because of the incredible generosity of my supporters I’ve had the opportunity to articulate my views about the perilous future of our country far and wide, and to fight as hard as I can to preserve and protect our sacred Constitutional Republic.”
Instead, Burg said he will play a role in a new grassroots conservative organization, the Common Sense Club, which is led by NJ 101.5 talk show host Bill Spadea.
