A newly-formed Democratic political organization is highlighting and tying the posts to the other candidates with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of TV ads in the region.
State Sen. Ed Durr walks out to speak members of the media in Turnersville, N.J., on Nov. 10, 2021. | Matt Rourke/APBattered by late campaign season attacks on abortion, several South Jersey Republican lawmakers and candidates are distancing themselves from past comments made by one of their colleagues, state Sen. Ed Durr.
Prior to his shocking upset of then-Senate President Steve Sweeney in 2021, Durr — who himself is facing a competitive challenge by former Assemblymember John Burzichelli — made several inflammatory social media posts. Now a newly-formed Democratic political organization is highlighting and tying them to the other candidates with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of TV ads in the region.
The Republicans in the joint statement are Assemblymembers Mike Torrissi and Brandon Umba , 8th District state Senate candidate Latham Tiver, 4th District state Senate candidate Chris Del Borrello and his Assembly running mates, Matt Walker and Amanda Esposito. “We do oppose late-term abortion, while state Democrats have embraced an extreme new state law that expands abortion access up to the moment of birth,” the Republicans said. “We do support parental notification, while Democrats believe that a 15-year-old girl should need parental consent to get her ears pierced but are fine keeping her parents in the dark if she wants an abortion. That’s insane.”
