Steve Lonegan has dedicated his time in public life to fighting for New Jersey taxpayers. When he became mayor of Bogota, NJ in 1996, Lonegan immediately cut municipal spending, eliminated wasteful and duplicative services, privatized some functions and instituted a more cost-efficient, user-friendly government. As a result, Bogotas municipal spending remained constant for the entire 12 years of Steves tenure. He also kept debt and tax increases far below inflation despite massive state mandates and aid reductions to suburban towns like Bogota. Thanks to Steves strong, conservative leadership, Republicans kept council control for 11 straight elections, and Steve was reelected in 1999 and 2003 by double-digit margins over his Democratic opponents. During his time as mayor, Steve also led statewide campaigns on behalf of New Jersey taxpayers. Whether it was fighting the Newark Arena, illegal state bonding, or proposed gasoline tax hikes, Steve was willing to take on leaders in both parties to do what was right for New Jerseys working families. In 2006, Steve joined Americans for Prosperity as state director of the New Jersey chapter where he continued to fight for taxpayers and achieved a number of successes. He helped defeat an 8 percent sales tax increase on the statewide ballot, led the successful fight to stop Governor Corzines $38 billion toll hike, and led the defeat of taxpayer-financed legislative elections in the state. Steve Lonegan was born in Teanecks Holy Name Hospital, grew up and graduated from high school in Ridgefield Park where he set several high school track records. Steve earned a B.A. in business administration from William Paterson College where he was football team captain and an All Conference Division Center. In 1981, he earned an M.B.A. from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Prior to becoming Americans for Prosperity New Jersey state director, Steve built and managed retail, custom homebuilding and manufacturing businesses, employing dozens of workers. - See more at: http://www.loneganforsenate.com/about-steve-lonegan/#sthash.H4epClgc.dpuf
I too am in FLA but agreed to make the calls for him!
Noo..dims wouldn’t cheat, right? /S!!
All you Jersey folks, get up and get going! I’ll be watching online tonight. Good luck Lonegan!
I just woke up. I was planning on voting between 6 and 6:30 this morning, but last night a relative called and I will be driving them to the polls at 9.
I’ll let you know how the voting is going in my neck of the woods.
It felt good to press the button for Lonegan this morning. It’s rare in NJ to be able to vote for a conservative at a national level who is both prolife and pro2A.
Bttt
Vote Lonegan for U.S. Senate.
I voted for Lonegan at 8 AM, number 17 of the day. The school had their voter parking lot completely filled up with government teacher cars. Normally it's left open. I had to park illegally in front of the school. What cheaters! But I'm a broken glass voter. There are many nice churches nearby, but leftist voters are allergic to those.
The people of NJ are not smart enough to elect a conservative.
*******
Agree with you. Just keeping it real.
Yep. Sad though.
Good for you. I am a broken glass voter too. Hope I am wrong about NJ, I look forward to you guys proving me wrong;D).
So...how are things progressing?
Lonegan 2014!

That was a fairly dominate win for the Marxist. Our country is way past the toast phase.
Money isn't everything, but when the other side can spend 10 to 1 over us, it does turn up the heat in the toaster.
