In order to continue and honor Pete Biondi’s remarkable legacy of public service, I am proud to announce my candidacy for the New Jersey Assembly in our 16th District.

Since 2004, when I campaigned for the U.S. House, earning 115,000+ votes in an overwhelmingly Democratic district, I’ve focused my attention on building the Republican Party by registering new Republicans, spreading our conservative message door-to-door, and training hundreds of candidates to serve in office.

My wife Jodi and I chose central New Jersey to raise our family, it is our home and it is worth fighting for. I served our nation as a U.S. Marine reservist, and I’ve been a business leader in our state for the past 15 years. It is imperative that our representation in Trenton truly understands, first-hand, the sacrifices families face in order to work, live and stay in New Jersey.

As Republicans and New Jersey taxpayers, we face many challenges in the months ahead. It’s critical for us to work together to build the Republican Party and support our Governor’s effort of empowering the private sector to create jobs by cutting taxes, eliminating wasteful spending, enacting public school funding reform, and civil service reform.

I’m looking forward to earning your support and your vote at the upcoming special convention.

Sincerely,

Bill Spadea
