John — I’ve always believed that if any political candidate is going to ask you for your hard-earned money, they have an obligation to share with you exactly where they stand on key issues.
So if you have a moment, I’d like to share with you where I stand on three key issues in this race, and how my position compares with my opponent’s. And if after reading this, your views align with mine, I hope you will split $10 or whatever amount works for you between my campaign and Heartland Patriots to help me win what could be a nail-biter of an election.
Abortion rights
Where I stand: The decision of if and when to start a family is one that every woman deserves to make for herself — period. As governor, I will work to permanently protect reproductive freedom in our state by enshrining the right to an abortion in New Jersey's state constitution, as well as stockpile mifepristone and strengthen protections for providers.
Where my opponent stands: He supports an abortion ban and wants to defund Planned Parenthood in New Jersey.
Affordability
Where I stand: My top priority is making every aspect of daily life more affordable for New Jerseyans — and I’ve put forward detailed plans on how to lower the cost of housing, health care, child care, energy, groceries, and the taxes that working families pay.
Where my opponent stands: Proudly alongside Trump as national Republicans try to cut Medicaid, endanger Medicare, take away food assistance, and give billionaires a massive tax break. In fact, he’s not only urging Republican Members of Congress to vote for Trump’s agenda — he’s promising to implement it at the state level in New Jersey, too.
The Rule of Law
Where I stand: The first time I took an oath to defend the Constitution, I was a teenager entering the Naval Academy. Ever since then, that oath has been the north star for everything I do. I’ve never been afraid to run toward a tough fight, and as governor, I will defend your rights and your freedoms from anyone who tries to take them away.
Where my opponent stands: He got Trump’s endorsement in this race after shamelessly begging for it. He quite literally hitched a ride on a helicopter to rush to Trump’s golf club in Bedminster to ask for the endorsement. If he so willingly bent the knee before the election, why would we expect anything different after taking office?
