Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 18, 2020
I want to thank Oakcrest High School in south Jersey for engaging all of us to be involved in what this Nation is built upon: representative government. Voting is a right that we must all engage in to see the country that we want to live in. I am proud of them. I am proud of all of you and your belief in America. America is an exceptional Nation, and we can never forget that. Our predecessors built this Nation with mechanisms in place to ensure that, even though there are problems at times, that we can self-correct and we can heal the wrongs. I ran for reelection because I believe in a strong America, which makes a strong south Jersey. I believe that what made America great keeps America great. I believe in a strong economy, strong borders, and a strong military, anchored by strong energy, American-made and American-supplied goods and services, all while protecting our environment, our families, and core American values. To me, this isn't about politics. A strong nation is built upon a strong economy, built on American-made goods. We must bring American manufacturing jobs back home where they belong. A strong nation does not let foreign governments take advantage of us, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that doesn't happen. I want to thank all of the professionals at Oakcrest High School, and I thank them for their work through this pandemic, and all of the students for the work that they have done. May God bless them all. ____________________

They’re fighting for their constituents. I understand they have some very high taxes. So do we in New Jersey. I’m trying to be mindful of actually getting this big, beautiful bill done, and one of the ways is we’re all going to have to…
