The 2019 Monmouth County social and political season kicked off on Friday as over 900 of Shaun Golden’s family and friends from the law enforcement, government and political communities throughout the State of New Jersey showed up at Eagle Oaks Golf and County Club in Howell on Friday night to celebrate the Sheriff/Chairman’s 8th Annual Starry Night Winter Gala.
“I welcome the President’s announcement. We need to immediately restore essential government functions—which I have repeatedly voted to do in recent weeks—while allowing more time to negotiate for funding to secure our border, which I voted for in December.
“In 2006, I and other members from both parties in Congress—including then-Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton—voted for the Secure Fence Act to authorize a physical barrier where applicable on our Southern border. The bill became law but was never adequately implemented, and by neglecting for years to build a border wall, we have placed a greater burden on the safety of our border security personnel and put undue stress on a primary function of government—keeping our citizens safe.
