Following tonight’s 7th district congressional debate, a top Somerset County GOP official reaffirmed her support of Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Clinton) and took a shot at his Democratic challenger, Tom Malinowski.
“When Tom Malinowski threw a dart at a map to determine where he would move to run for office he should have done more research into his opponent,” said Somerset County Republican State Committeewoman Janice M. Fields, the Bernards Township Republican Municipal Chairman. “Why would New Jersey voters reject an effective leader like Congressman Lance for a carpetbagging, tax-raising leftist like Tom Malinowski?”
Two independent polls have shown the race between Lance, a five-term congressman, and Malinowski, a former Assistant U.S. Secretary of State in the Obama administration, to be within the margin of error.
