Democratic State Chairman John Wisniewski slammed Gov. Chris Christie’s decision announced today to hold a special October election for the vacant U.S. Senate seat.
“Democrats believe an election should be held in a timely manner, however in what appears to be a blatantly political move, the Governor would rather spend $12 million in taxpayer funds on a special election when a general election is scheduled for less than three weeks later.” said Wisniewski. “Chris Christie’s decision speaks more to his national political ambitions than his responsibility to the residents of New Jersey as Governor.”
