NEW JOBS PAC Endorses 93 Probusiness Candidates

NEW JOBS PAC, the state’s largest and most influential business political action committee, has endorsed 93 probusiness candidates for the State Senate and General Assembly in the November 6 election, Executive Director Art Maurice announced.

“Business people from throughout the state exhaustively reviewed the candidate’s record and determined that these individuals were the best candidates in their legislative districts,” Maurice said. “These are outstanding candidates who have demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues facing the business community and a commitment to lower New Jersey’s cost of doing business. I encourage anyone who cares about New Jersey’s economy to support these candidates in the fall election.”

NEW JOBS, the Business PAC of New Jersey, is a bipartisan organization that promotes a probusiness climate in New Jersey.

NEW JOBS PAC supports candidates who understand that lowering New Jersey’s high cost of doing business is essential for a strong private-sector economy that can create new jobs. NEW JOBS endorses candidates who are committed to lowering New Jersey’s high cost of doing business to make New Jersey employers more competitive with those in other states.
