Myers presented himself as the Navy veteran who gets vets, takes pride in being a Lockheed Martin executive who has contributed to ballistic missile development, and wants to downsize government. On the other side of the stage, Adler cast himself as the people’s champion whose priority if elected is an end to the war in Iraq, a reallocation of resources to domestic concerns, and a tax code geared more to working families than big business.

"I don’t think veterans should be treated like pawns on Election Day," Myers griped.

Once again, Myers is lockstep with Bush's playbook...

(Mt. Holly, NJ) – Mark Warren, campaign manager for John Adler's campaign in New Jersey's 3rd District released the following statement regarding tonight's congressional race debate between John Adler and Mayor Chris Myers.

MOUNT HOLLY - Medford Mayor Chris Myers bounces back from a John Adler put-down by telling the Camden senator that he would be better off staying In Trenton than wreaking even more havoc in Washington, D.C.

His supporters whoop.

The rejoinder comes after Adler tells Myers he would be better off consigned to Lockheed Martin, where he can continue to hire soldiers.

The jabs that go back and forth between these candidates do not depart from the stances they have taken all through this political season. Myers, the Navy veteran and Lockheed Martin executive, depicts veteran lawmaker Adler as a creature of Trenton, stuck in the tax and spend trend of his party and incapable of approaching government with a private enterprise mind-set.

For his part, Adler uses a tanking economy and Bush blues to make a more-of-the-same case against Myers. He sprinkles his comments with end-the-war-now arguments that at one points sparks a blistering comeback from Myers.

MOUNT HOLLY - The debate is underway here in the 3rd Congressional District between Medford Mayor Chris Myers and state Sen. John Adler (D-Camden), and military issues and the economy dominate the dialogue early in the auditorium of Rancocas Valley Regional High School.

No surprise, given this district, which is home to Fort Dix, and given the hosts of this debate - Veterans for Education, a group of military veterans who attend Rutgers-Camden.

Myers, a Republican, and Adler, his Democratic counterpart, are vying to replace veteran U.S. Rep. Jim Saxton (R-Burlington), who is retiring at the end of this term.

Taking the first question, Adler says he would be able to better represent veterans returning from the warzone of Iraq and Afghanistan because of his background. His father died when he was young. He knows how to listen.
