Mary Jo Guinchard Declares Candidacy for New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District

Ridgewood, NJ - On Tuesday, 2024 Republican Nominee Mary Jo Guinchard declared her candidacy for New Jersey's 5th Congressional District. She made her announcement after thoughtful consideration and outpouring of encouragement from residents throughout District 5. Announcing her campaign, Mary Jo Guinchard stated the following: "For several years, Josh Gottheimer has consistently put partisan politics and his political career over the people of New Jersey's 5th District. When Joe Biden's failed policies caused a crisis at the border, an influx of deadly drugs, and skyrocketing cost of living, Gottheimer refused to stand up for New Jerseyans. Instead, he voted nearly 100% of the time with Joe Biden. Now, Gottheimer has abandoned the 5th District, missing nearly 30% of votes so far this Congress. Instead of working with President Trump to secure our border and unleash economic growth, he is focusing on his political career - yet again. Time and time... Read more →
