Welle wants country over political party

Democratic congressional candidate Josh Welle says that the process used to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court “reflects the rising threat within our borders of a hyper-partisan way of life.”

“We deserve better than a process that ushers through a Supreme Court Justice who has questionable integrity and judicial temperament. The Senate performed in a way that we have come to accept — career politicians putting party loyalty over the people,” said Welle.  “That behavior is unacceptable, and I’m calling on voters to elect a new generation of leaders who put American values of due process and unity over partisan rancor of hate and fear.”

Welle, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, has raised $1.3 million in his bid to unseat Republican Christopher Smith, who has served 38 years in the U.S. House of Representatives.
