Conservative Behind the Wheel

Have you seen our latest campaign ad?

Governor Murphy and liberal Democrat Bob Andrzejczak have given MILLIONS of dollars to illegal immigrants for college tuition — slashing funding for our own schools and driving up our property taxes in the process.

We CANNOT stand by and continue to allow Trenton Democrats’ reckless tax and spend agenda to punish South Jersey taxpayers. If you’re ready to send a true conservative Republican to Trenton, VOTE for Mike on November 5th!

GOP demands Democrats to disavow shady Super PAC and call on them to cease and desist

Contact: Brittany E. O’Neill | 609-238-8948

September 16, 2019, First Legislative District – Republicans slammed a negative attack mailer against GOP Assembly candidate and Ocean City Councilman Antwan McClellan today, alleging the shadowy Super PAC funded by allies of George Norcross darkened and distorted McClellan’s photo, placed it inside a yellow circle reminiscent of Aunt Jemima syrup branding and used racially-charged language in a desperate attempt to hang on to a district that is slipping away.

The Republicans demanded Democrat incumbents Bob Andrzejczak, Bruce Land, Matt Milam, and Cape May County Democrat Chairman Brendan Sciarra to immediately disavow the mailing, and call on the Norcross-linked General Majority PAC to cease and desist from spending in support of their candidacies.

”The Democratic party claims to be the party of inclusion; however, the moment a person of color like me disagrees with their narrative, they launch an ad hominem attack, whip out their best ‘Aunt Jemima’ photograph and purposefully darken my complexion in order to suppress dissent,” said McClellan. “This attack ad launched against me isn’t just tone deaf, it’s totally deaf to the economic struggles that faced all the people of South Jersey in the recent trying economic times. I am a Republican because we support job creation and real opportunity not just giveaway programs. I know about that struggle firsthand and promise to diligently represent South Jersey to increase economic opportunities.”

“The Cape May County GOP has worked hard to reach out to the African-American community and Antwan is without a doubt one of our brightest stars. To see him subjected to these kinds of racist attacks is extremely distressing,” said Cape GOP Chairman Marcus Karavan. “Unfortunately, these are the kinds of attacks you would expect from District 1 Democrats, who, to my recollection, have never run a woman or a person of color for the state legislature.”

“People that buy into this race-baiting narrative being advanced by the Democrats are just asking for more of the same lackluster representation and cronyism,” said Erik Simonsen. “I suggest that everyone, not just people of color, look closely into the thinking that spawned this attack ad and ask themselves if this is the representation they want.

“It’s no surprise that the very first mailer sent out by the Democrats was a negative attack. They can’t defend their party’s radical liberal agenda and the insane policies of Phil Murphy, so they turn to personal smears,” said Senate candidate Mike Testa, Jr. “But to see Antwan depicted in this way is beyond offensive. We are not going to sit by and let the Democrats hide from this one. The days of Bob Andrzejczak and running mates dutifully staying silent, while George Norcross’ shady PAC – funded by companies who got suspect tax breaks – does their dirty work, are over.”

Time to Put South Jersey FIRST

Governor Murphy and the Democrat Party in Trenton have lost their collective minds. New Jersey has the HIGHEST taxes in America, an economy that is LAGGING behind the rest of the country, and the highest rate of residents LEAVING for other states, but instead of dealing with those issues, Trenton Democrats’ top priority is making New Jersey a so-called “sanctuary state” and trying to bully law enforcement professionals like Sheriff Nolan into NOT cooperating with ICE.

Sheriff Nolan deserves our gratitude for having the courage to push back! Mike Testa, Jr. proudly support Sheriff Nolan and as our State Senator, will do all he can to make sure our law enforcement officers have the resources needed to keep our South Jersey families safe.

GOP Senate hopeful says letting the shoes go to waste would make a bad situation worse

For Immediate Release
Contact: Brittany O’Neill, 609-238-8948

Wednesday, July 3, 2019

Vineland, NJ – A day after he called for a national boycott of Nike for their decision to scrap a Betsy Ross Flag-themed sneaker after alleged pressure from Colin Kaepernick and afar-left, politically-correct culture run amok, 1st Legislative District Senate candidate Mike Testa, Jr. called on Nike to donate the unused sneakers to the homeless, particularly homeless veterans.

“While apparently the corporate executives at Nike are ashamed of putting the Betsy Ross Flag on their shoes, I am sure that homeless Americans – particularly our homeless veterans – would be proud to wear them on their feet – let alone grateful,” said Testa, Jr., who is Past Chair of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland and Salem Counties. “Letting these perfectly good shoes go to waste would only compound this asinine and tone-deaf decision by Nike. Since they recalled the shoes already shipped to stores and likely have hundreds of thousands of them sitting in a warehouse somewhere, it makes perfect sense to give them to people who need them.”

Testa, Jr. called the Nike fiasco a disgrace and called on longstanding Nike consumers – like himself – to find another company to give their business to.

Do You Stand for Our Flag?

“I don’t know who the people are making these decisions, but the degree to which they are disconnected from regular people in places like Vineland, Millville, Ocean City, Lower Township and Middle Township is stunning,” said Testa, Jr. “Being a proud American should never be a partisan issue, no matter who sits in the White House. Shame on these far-left fanatics and shame on the Democratic Party for embracing them.”

###

Unbelievable! It’s shameful that Nike would disrespect our flag and cave to this politically correct nonsense! It’s time to fight back and make our voice heard.

The American flag represents both our freedom and the courage of brave men and women of every race, color and creed who fought and died to defend it. ????

Sign my petition today, pledging never to buy any more Nike products, and let’s send a message that can’t be ignored.
