Rob Andrews Disrespects
Local Educators, Students

Andrews withdraws from debate,
leaving local educators and students
having wasted two weeks of preparation

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey’s 1st District, sharply criticized U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews for suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from an agreed upon debate to be held at Sterling High School on October 21.

The debate, which was scheduled to be a digital town hall meeting with students from schools across the district videoconferencing together to ask questions of the two candidates for Congress, had been planned for several weeks. Some of the best students at Sterling High had been preparing for two weeks, developing their questions for the candidates.

Now, due to Rob Andrews’ inexplicable waffling and flip-flopping, all of their hard work is likely to go to waste.

“This is truly outrageous,” Glading said. “Rob Andrews has disrespected the voters of the 1st District time after time. Perhaps the only people he had left to disrespect were young people, some of whom are not yet of voting age, and somehow he found a way to disrespect them too.”

“I offer my sincerest apologies to the students of Sterling High School, the teachers, and the administrators whose hard work went to waste due to Rob Andrews’ conduct,” Glading added. “Even I am surprised to see Mr. Andrews stoop this low.”

“Yet again, Rob Andrews has proven to the people of the 1st District that if he says one thing, the opposite is true,” Glading concluded. “Plain and simply, a man’s word should be his bond.”
