Pallone Statement on Rep. Van Drew

Below is a statement attributable to Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr:

"Congressman Van Drew is joining a Republican Party led by President Trump that kowtows to special interests, gives the wealthy big tax breaks, and denies climate change. It’s unfortunate he has chosen to climb a career ladder that’s doomed to collapse instead of working with Democrats to pass legislation to lower health care costs, combat the climate crisis, and stand up for all Americans. In 2020, we will be working hard to elect a Democrat in NJ-2."
