A number of the Association’s friends in the New Jersey legislature addressed our meeting, offered their continued support and urged everyone to continue the effort to defend our rights. Senator Gerald Cardinale (R/39) encouraged everyone to do what was necessary to help pro-Second Amendment candidates win their elections. Assemblyman Guy R. Gregg (R/24) and Senator Tony Bucco (R/25) urged us to make our support for President Bush and the Republican Congressional candidates known. “This is not a year to sit it out,” said Gregg.

Dick Kamin, a candidate for the New Jersey Republican Chairmanship, brought bumper stickers and lawn signs for attendees to take home and display. Bill Spadea, the Republican candidate from the 12th Congressional District (with an “A” rating from the NRA), also spoke. 

Steve Lonegan, the Mayor of Bogota, (left) who will be seeking the nomination for New Jersey Governor addressed the attendees, stayed for lunch and placed the winning bid on the wildlife print auctioned off to raise funds for the ANRJPC/PAC by the Association’s champion fundraiser, Mike Bodner.
