CRYAN: GOVERNOR CORZINE STANDS FOR WHAT MATTERS MOST TO WORKING NEW JERSEY FAMILIES

New Jersey Democratic State Chairman Joseph P. Cryan today issued the following statement in response to the Quinnipiac Poll released today:

“New Jerseyans clearly see the difference between Governor Jon S. Corzine who fights for the issues that matter most to New Jersey families – and Chris Christie who continues to be extremely wrong when it matters most.

Mario Cuomo today headlined a rally with more than 300 people gathered to support the re-election efforts of Governor Jon S. Corzine and the 36th Legislative District Team of Assemblymen Fred Scalera and Gary Schaer (both D-Bergen/Passaic/Essex).

“The excitement of Lyndhurst residents at today’s rally with Mario Cuomo shows the growing energy and momentum of New Jerseyans across the state that will carry Democrats to victory this November,” said Governor Corzine. “New Jersey Democrats are dedicated to doing the right thing for working families by fighting for the issues that matter most. We passed the nation’s first economic recovery act, with new business grants to create jobs, froze property taxes for seniors and got health care coverage for almost one hundred thousand children.”

Governor Jon S. Corzine today was endorsed by the New Jersey Muslim American Committee and American Muslim leaders from across the State at a rally of more than 200 New Jersey Muslims held at The Nile Restaurant in North Bergen Township.

“I am proud to be endorsed by New Jersey’s Muslim American Committee as well as by such a distinguished group of leaders from throughout the State’s Muslim community,” said Governor Corzine. “The American Muslim community is continuing to grow in size and will be a significant force in Democrats achieving Victory this November. With the support and partnership of leaders from New Jersey’s Muslim Community we will continue to move New Jersey forward and protect the values that matter most to hard working families across the State.”
