JERSEY CITY MAYOR STEVE FULOP
“Whether it’s Bob Menendez or George Norcross – there isn’t a single person in New Jersey politics that has my track record in publicly fighting these characters for the better part of 10+ years – you can google it and I’ve got a ton of scars to show for it. But today is a good day for South Jersey and importantly it’s a good day for the future of New Jersey.”
DEMOCRATIC NJ-7 CANDIDATE SUE ALTMAN
“I laud the Attorney General’s monumental indictment. Like Donald Trump, George Norcross and his South Jersey cronies are finding out that breaking the law for personal gain has consequences.
“It is a new day for New Jersey politics. We are replacing our culture of corruption, misuse of public funds, and self-dealing government with a new one – one that prioritizes public service, the greater good, and functional government where both parties are held accountable.
“While today’s announcement is a major step toward rooting out the rampant corruption that led to the abuse of taxpayer dollars and Camden residents, it is sobering to see the scope and details of the damage done.
As we move forward, I urge us to rethink what it means to invest in and develop a city. Instead of relying on state-funded giveaways to politically connected corporations, we must focus our efforts and investments on the people who already live and work there.”
REP. MIKIE SHERRILL
“From Menendez to Alito to Norcross, too many powerful people from New Jersey seem to think that they are above the law and work to enrich themselves at the expense of hard-working Americans.
New Jerseyans deserve to know that their tax dollars are being spent wisely, that contracts are being awarded fairly, and that the system isn’t rigged against them.
This type of corruption undermines citizens’ faith in government and costs taxpayers money.
I’ve served in the Navy, as a federal prosecutor, and now in Congress. I always have and always will put the people I serve and my oath of office above all else.”
REPUBLICAN NJ-1 CANDIDATE TEDDY LIDDELL
“For far too long, politics in South Jersey has been characterized by unabashed corruption. Justice has finally come knocking at the door – and even politicians and power brokers are not above the law.
As a West Point graduate, former U.S. Army Captain, and attorney, I understand the importance of selfless service – an essential quality that is desperately needed in our politics today. Simply put, we need public servants – not political bosses – who exemplify genuine selfless service as they work for us. Character and truth knows no party. The constituents who live and work in Camden City and the greater 1st Congressional District deserve nothing less.”
