“I rise this morning to acknowledge Monmouth County, NJ, one of the five counties that make up my congressional district. Monmouth County has been recognized by Money magazine as the third best place to live in America. According to the magazine, ``For people who like to live near but not in big cities, there may be no better locale.'' The low crime rate, beautiful and scenic area, and deep sense of community may have gone previously unnoticed by Money, but it has been no secret to us in New Jersey. Monmouth County consists of 53 towns that serve as a model of what many towns strive to be and of what many people look for in a community. For many people, Monmouth County is a place to settle down, raise a family, and relish in the American dream come true. I congratulate the people of Monmouth County on their distinguished achievement. I truly am honored today to have so many of the communities of Monmouth County as part of my congressional district of New Jersey.”
