STATEMENT ON ROB ANDREWS HYPOCRITICAL AND DESPERATE LAWSUIT ON BRACKETING

STATEMENT ON ROB ANDREWS HYPOCRITICAL AND DESPERATE LAWSUIT ON BRACKETING

NEWARK, N.J. – “This lawsuit smacks of hypocrisy and desperation,” said Lautenberg for Senator spokesperson Julie Roginsky.  “Rob Andrews has bracketed with candidates -- including Senator Lautenberg -- in every federal race he's ever run.  Furthermore, when he was a failed candidate for Governor, he happily accepted bracketing in any county he could find. And now, Congressman Andrews is talking about giving voters a choice while trying to knock a fellow Democrat off the ballot and manipulating the ballot process in his own district to give party insiders, not voters, the choice of candidate.  Most remarkably, Congressman Andrews is bringing lawsuits only in the counties he couldn't win.  It is clear the Congressman wants one set of rules for himself and another for everyone else. Once again, Rob Andrews says one thing and does another.”
