BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey’s 1st District, has questioned Rob Andrews’ claim that he would debate the issues and run a spirited campaign in this year’s election.
Andrews has withdrawn from two previously agreed upon joint appearances, the first being a candidates forum at the Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce on October 17, and the second being a digital town hall debate hosted by Sterling High School on October 21.
Glading will appear as scheduled at the Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce and is working with Sterling High School to reschedule the digital town hall debate after Andrews abruptly withdrew.
“Rob Andrews spent months chasing Senator Lautenberg across the state in this year’s Senate primary, challenging him to as many as 21 debates,” Glading said. “Rob said that the voters deserved to hear where the candidates stood on the issues, and that not holding multiple debates was disrespectful to the voters. Now it appears that Mr. Andrews’ words were as empty as his congressional record.”
“We know that Rob Andrews has a history of not telling the truth,” Glading continued. “When Rob Andrews told the press at his coronation in Bellmawr that he would gladly agree to a series of debates, it rang as hollow as his claims that ‘under no circumstances’ would he return to the congressional race.”
“Just like Camille Andrews said she would run a spirited campaign but held no events and met no voters, Rob Andrews has, yet again, taken the voters for granted in the 1st District,” Glading added. “We have met more than 13,000 voters since the beginning of August, and they all say that Mr. Andrews has never knocked on their door, called them, or shown any interest whatsoever in their concerns.”
“Now those of us who suspected that Rob Andrews would lie once again have, unfortunately, been proven correct,” Glading concluded.
