MOORESTOWN, NJ – Burlington County business owner and Republican candidate for Congress Bob Healey today issued the following statement:

“As this campaign draws to a close, I am extremely encouraged by the hard working, law-abiding citizens of Mercer, Monmouth and my home county of Burlington, who remain optimistic that the economic mess we currently face can be changed if we change the people making policy in Washington.

The Congressman has been ‘Andy One-Note’ in this campaign, failing to speak out –let alone offer any real solutions– to the ever-rising gas and grocery prices, and the increase in crime that plagues his constituents. 

But for those who need any more evidence that Andy Kim has failed us as our representative in Congress, here are five reasons to retire Andy:

1) Andy served as a Biden ‘rubber stamp’ voting 100% for every Biden spending program, according to the NY Times.

5) Andy’s campaign has been out-of-touch, offering no solutions or even comments on voter concerns about crime, inflation, border security, gas prices. 

On November 8, despite all the negative advertising Andy Kim has leveled against me, voters won’t be fooled into returning Andy to Congress as their representative.”
