Pro-Life News and Information from New Jersey Right to Life

from Marie Tasy, Executive Director
New Jersey Right to Life 

State and National Pro-abortion groups are dumping lots of money to unseat many of our faithful pro-life legislators in the upcoming November 7, 2017 state legislative elections. One of these races which have seen a recent influx of pro-abortion money is the 25th legislative district which is comprised of towns in Morris and Somerset counties. We have been fortunate and grateful to have three very strong pro-life legislators currently representing that district; Senator Tony Bucco, Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll and Assemblyman Tony Bucco. We need to make sure they win re-election in November.

The 25th district includes the following towns in Morris County: Boonton Township, Boonton, Chester Borough, Chester Township, Denville, Dover, Mendham Borough, Mendham Township, Mine Hill, Morris Township, Morristown, Mount Arlington, Mountain Lakes, Netcong, Randolph, Rockaway Borough, Roxbury, Victory Gardens, Washington, Wharton. It also includes Bernardsville in Somerset County.

If you live in one of these towns or have pro-life friends and family members who live in the 25th district, please pass this information on to them.

 

It is critically important that pro-life voters support our pro-life candidates by voting for them on November 7th. If it is possible and within your means, please also consider volunteering to help with their campaign. 

Below is an email sent out by Emily's list in support of a pro-abortion candidate to run against incumbent pro-life Senator Tony Bucco in the 25th legislative district. As you can see, they are making support for abortion the centerpiece of their campaign.

We can expect more of our pro-life candidates to face similar challenges by pro-abortion candidates in this election. We will provide you with additional information about other legislative races as it becomes available. We plan to provide a complete list of all our endorsed candidates as we get closer to the election.
