Camille Andrews' Scandalous Spending

Camille Andrews’ Scandalous Spending

Inactive, non-responsive campaign spends
almost $43,000 with no public appearances

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 1st District, criticized the placeholder campaign of Camille Andrews and her party boss, George Norcross III, for their big-spending ways.

“Camille Andrews has been invited on numerous occasions to appear with me in a public debate,” Glading said. “She has not had the courtesy to even respond to these invitations, much less appear, and now we find that she is raising nearly twice what the median household in our district earns in a year. This is the very model of what is wrong with politics today.”

Andrews reported raising just over $72,000 in her most recent FEC report, filed for July 15. She spent almost $43,000 of it on consultants and miscellaneous expenditures.

“To our knowledge, Andrews has made no public appearances, and we have not seen a single yard sign or piece of campaign literature bearing her name,” said Tim Saler, Glading’s campaign manager. “She has refused to appear before the voters, and yet somehow she has managed to spend almost as much on consultants – in three months – as the median household in our district earns in an entire year.”

“It’s just another example of how out of touch the machine politicians are,” Saler added. “Camille Andrews and Boss Norcross have spent more in three months on a fake candidate’s fake campaign than most people in the district make in a year. The people of our district are struggling to make ends meet; they can’t afford to write $2,300 checks to win Boss Norcross’ favor.”

“Being a part of the Norcross money machine is nice work, if you can get it,” Saler concluded. “But the rest of us need a Congressman too. That’s why Dale Glading is running, and that’s why he’s going to win.”
