My final thoughts as the sun sets on Primary Eve...
It's been a heck of a journey. I've got no regrets. It's been full-steam ahead for nearly a year. I am a better person today than I was last July because I got in front of so many folks and learned their stories, developed bonds and relationships. That's what really matters.
Truth be told, I had no interest in running again but once I saw what was in Trump's big bu****it bill, especially when it came to healthcare, I knew I had to jump in having dealt with a family emergency firsthand that almost put my family in financial ruin - I get it.
Politics is rough and tumble. Feelings get hurt, people hold grudges, the temperature gets turned up a bit. At the end of the day the only thing that *really* matters is unseating turncoat coward and Trump puppet, Van Drew in November.
I'm not telling you who to vote for. That decision is deeply personal. I am humbly asking you to consider the real-world life experience of every candidate in this race, research our positions, plans, how to pay for them and our backgrounds to make an informed choice.
I am ready to fight for this district and send Jeff packing.
Regardless of the outcome, this will ALWAYS be my home. South Jersey will ALWAYS be a special place with very special people and that will never, ever change.
Democracy is all about standing up for what you believe in and having your voice heard. Never let ANYONE take that voice away from you. Get out and VOTE tomorrow!
Am I a perfect person? Oh hell no. There was only one perfect man to ever walk on this planet. We all fall shy. But what we do to effect change for the stranger is measure of our character. I strive every day to help those who need a little hand up in life.
To my team, our supporters and our community: Thank you. Thank you for giving us your ear, telling us what matters most to you and giving us an opportunity to speak with you. To my family and close circle of friends, you mean the world to me.
Thank you ALL so much. I love you all, even if we had some heated exchanges. God bless you and may God bless the United States of America and SOUTH JERSEY! Best of luck to EVERYONE running in this primary.
