As I talk with people throughout the district, I hear the same frustration that I feel with how the career politicians in Washington D.C. are leading this country in the wrong direction. That's why I'm running for Congress - because I am tired of politics as usual, tired of the partisan bickering that puts politics ahead of policy that would be good for our nation, and tired of the career politicians who refuse to make the tough decisions and do what is right for us taxpayers.

Congress needs a new perspective - one that respects the individual, and lets the hard-working people of New Jersey control their money and futures. My work as a Congressional and cabinet staff member, combined with my experience running my own business, has given me a unique perspective that will achieve results in Washington.

I am confident I will provide the type of first-class representation and constituent service that the people of the 7th Congressional District want and deserve. My vision is to restore fiscal integrity to Washington and once again make Washington work for us.

Born and raised in the 7th Congressional District, my husband and I are raising our twin sons here, which only deepens my commitment to ensuring a successful future for the people of this region. I want my sons to inherit a nation whose government honors its fiscally conservative roots, respects individual rights and protects the environment.

Join me - together we can win in November and make sure our voices are heard in Washington.

Thank you and see you out on the campaign trail.

Sincerely,

Kate Whitman
