Fitzherbert To Seek New Jersey Congressional Seat


South Jersey conservative Republican and Defense Contractor Brian T. Fitzherbert launched his 2020 campaign for New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District (NJ02) for the U.S. House of Representatives live on the air with Harry Hurley of WPG Talk Radio. Fitzherbert will seek the Republican nomination to earn the right to oust freshman Democrat Congressman Jeff Van Drew in November 2020.

The quintessential political outsider, Fitzherbert has been a businessman, engineer, and project manager in the defense and aerospace industry for nearly a decade among two Fortune 500 companies, Textron and L3Harris. He’s been responsible for managing and delivering various military assets such as drones, ground control stations, electronic warfare testers, simulators, and area attack weapons to support the Warfighter in theater. As an executive in manufacturing, Fitzherbert has built and led successful teams to win proposals and execute multimillion dollar contracts for the Pentagon.

“Since January 2019, South Jersey has been placed on hold when it comes having an advocate in Washington to leverage our assets such as the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic County, the United States Coast Guard Training Center in Cape May County, and our drone development across the region. It’s time we have a Congressman again who can secure necessary support to grow South Jersey into a diverse economy,” Fitzherbert said. “We must adapt and complement our already vibrant industries in tourism, gaming, fishing, and farming.

“South Jersey deserves a principled, relentless conservative who will work alongside President Donald Trump to deliver the results that hard-working families need and deserve. Our South Jersey community deserves a fair shake and cannot continue to suffer from Congressman Van Drew’s lack of representation. The Congressman’s first vote in Washington simultaneously hurt our community and helped elect Nancy Pelosi as Speaker. We deserve better.”

New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District covers all of Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Salem Counties, as well as parts of Gloucester, Ocean, Burlington, and Camden Counties.

Brian Fitzherbert’s Bio

Fitzherbert is a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio with a degree in economics and supply chain management. He also completed his Master's degree in Technical Management from at the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, studying systems engineering and project management.

“South Jersey needs a Congressman who wasn’t part of the Trenton legislature that led to out of control spending, unrealistic promises, and a cost of living that has made the Garden State too expensive to live and raise a family in. Jeff Van Drew masquerades as a moderate, but no middle of the road person would foster an economic environment that is leading to mass population exodus," Fitzherbert said.
In South Jersey, Fitzherbert has served on the City of Somers Point Economic Development Advisory Commission (EDAC) and formed and Chaired the Atlantic County Young Republican (ACYR) organization. He also serves state-wide as the Vice Chairman of the Young Republican Federation of New Jersey (YRFNJ), responsible for identifying and growing the number of next generation Republican candidates, advocates, operatives, and leaders.

'We Have An Opportunity To Move The Needle'

First Lady Melania Trump visited Cabell-Huntington Health Department in West Virginia yesterday to promote that community’s efforts to combat the opioid crisis.

“We have an opportunity to move the needle to help families and children who have been impacted by opioid abuse,” the First Lady said. “Meeting with federal, state, and local leaders in Huntington, West Virginia, today proved the power of partnerships and community efforts.”

After a roundtable with these leaders, Mrs. Trump met with a small group of women who have been affected closely by the crisis. Among the participants were Huntington’s Fire Chief, leadership from the Lily’s Place treatment facility, a representative from a first responder wellness program, a recovery coach, and a recovering mother along with her 5-month-old child.

Each one shared stories about their own experiences with America’s opioid crisis, as well as the positive impact the community has had on these families.

The First Lady has been an advocate for programs that help change the lives of families who have been hurt by the opioid epidemic. As communities across America have been devastated, the lives of countless children are put in harm’s way. Visits like yesterday’s are a crucial piece of Mrs. Trump’s signature “Be Best” initiative, which focuses on the most pressing issues facing children today.

“Through BE BEST, I continue to learn about the many issues and challenges surrounding opioid addiction,” Mrs. Trump said. Using this platform, “we can continue to promote programs and highlight resources available to all those who are seeking help with this national epidemic.”

Before departing West Virginia, the First Lady took a moment to visit Ritter Park, where 453 American flags dot a grass field. Each flag represents a child in the foster care system in the Huntington, West Virginia, area—many as a result of the opioid epidemic.

President Trump welcomes Amir of Qatar

“President Trump, friends: It’s a great honor to join you again in Washington, D.C. Thank you for your continued hospitality,” Qatar’s leader said last night at a dinner hosted by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. “My visit this week will reaffirm the ideals we share.”

The U.S.–Qatar alliance is more important than ever, both in the fight against global terrorism and as part of President Trump’s efforts to restore fair, reciprocal trade. Today, that relationship got even stronger, with the Amir announcing a series of large airway purchases—including five Boeing 777 freighters.
