NJ-02: Harrison running with support of the South Jersey Democratic machine.

General Majority PAC Spending and Brigid Harrison’s Pre-Primary FEC Report Prove What She Has Been Denying: Harrison is the Chosen Candidate of the South Jersey Machine

A significant amount of her money came from known associates and friends of George Norcross, including the law firm of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer

Brigantine, NJ – Today, General Majority PAC, George Norcross’s PAC, once again spent money on visceral, personal attacks against Amy Kennedy on behalf of Brigid Harrison. The superPAC has now spent more than $400,000 on TV ads and $32,000 on mail. Last week, Brigid Harrison filed her pre-primary FEC report showing that a significant amount of her money came from known associates and friends of George Norcross.

Josh Roesch, campaign manager, Amy Kennedy for Congress made the following statement:

“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, or even a political scientist, to understand that the donors and expenses listed in Brigid Harrison’s pre-primary FEC report, in combination with the fact that General Majority PAC just spent more than $430K on Brigid’s behalf, proves once and for all that she is the anointed and chosen candidate of the South Jersey political machine. The same power brokers and political machine that brought us Jeff Van Drew, have attempted to rig this election for Brigid from the beginning, and are now coming in full force to try and save her losing campaign. But we know that despite all of their attempts to rig the primary and in spite of all of their efforts to buy this election, the people of South Jersey are sick and tired of leaders that are only interested in serving themselves. Amy Kennedy is committed to bringing meaningful change to South Jersey and she will never pledge her undying support to anyone other than the people she is elected to represent.”
