    Thanks, Art, for outlining the GOP plan.

    Old Bridge residents have an historic opportunity to cast aside the spendthrift, cronyist practices of the Democrats, and their awful legacy of debt and entitlement. Old Bridge voters are awake to the legacy of taxpayer abuse, and are fully embracing the restoration plan that Owen Henry, Brian Cahill, Debbie Walker and Jim Anderson want to implement.

    Whether or not you live in Old Bridge, help Owen, Brian, Debbie and Jim win their races. Call or visit the campaign office, on Route 516 across from the Browntown shopping center. Be a part of history!
