Running for the U.S. Senate in NJ to provide freedom, security and opportunity to every New Jerseyan. đşđ¸
Joined January 2024
It has been my great honor and privilege to run for the U.S. Senate for New Jersey. After over 80,000 miles in the car driving New Jerseyâs 21 counties, meeting thousands upon thousands of voters, listening to their stories in diners, at groceries, on train platforms and ferry

Watch for yourselfâŚ. My opponent has never been to the border during his time in Congress. Not only is that negligent, itâs absurd.

New Jerseyans are sick and tired of our open border. Andy Kim and the Biden Administration have done nothing to secure it. Even worse⌠Andy Kim voted AGAINST the HALT Fentanyl Act, which would have helped curb the fentanyl epidemic in this country.

Iâm glad that my opponent @AndyKimNJ agrees that there is a âcrisisâ at our southern border. Interestingly enough, he voted against seven border security measures dating back to 2023.

As someone who has been stereotyped and on the wrong end of hateful incorrect assumptions my entire life, I wholeheartedly denounce baseless accusations based solely on someoneâs background or appearance. @AndyKimNJ and I have some serious policy disagreements, but he is a good.
Last night a Republican delegate from NJ accused me of wearing a North Korea flag on my tie and questioned my allegiance to America. This is a disgusting attack and I urge NJ Republican leaders including @BobHugin and @CurtisBashaw to condemn this xenophobia. THREAD

Andy. Stop the name calling. Iâm surprised you would make a racist innuendo about me. Being a Republican doesnât make one racist. Iâm gay. I came out during the height of the AIDS crisis and faced hate, ignorance and bigotry. I could not get married, I could be fired for my.
The sad truth is that Republican leaders like Curtis Bashaw have stood by Trump's racist comments for years. Bashaw joined Trump last weekend in NJ and has repeatedly and proudly endorsed him. It says a lot about Curtis Bashaw that he supports and condones this shameful behavior.

Yes, prices are too high â but thatâs not due to price gouging as Kamala Harris and Democratic politicians would have people believe. Rather, inflation is caused by out-of-control spending by politicians in Washington, D.C. We cannot spend our way into prosperity. My opponent.

Itâs clear that Iran and its terrorist proxies are committed to wiping Israel off the map. The Biden-Harris Administration, which Andy Kim votes with 100% of the time, has only emboldened this terrorist regime by lifting economic sanctions on Iran. I will always stand by.
