Voters in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District face a choice between a progressive Democrat and a moderate Republican.
I am challenging Mr. Menefee to a debate ... right away, but I also challenge him to come to work. Within his first month in Congress, after having sworn that he was going to come here and vote ... he missed a week. My voting record is 97.9% over 20 years. He missed six votes in one day, and then missed additional votes as well. We had a classified briefing on the Iran war, he wasn't there. He needs to know that this is where we work.
I'm excited about this next chapter of my life. I think that I feel God's calling pressing me into service, and that's really what I believe it is, is the civil service.
