Danielczyk attacks opponents on dual office holding
By Matt FriedmanRepublican Assembly candidate Paul “Daniels” Danielczyk today lashed out against his opponent, Joseph Vas, for abstaining from voting on the Dual Office Holding bill.
"By abstaining on the vote, Vas has admitted that a conflict of interest does exist with holding two offices,” said Danielczyk in a press release.
Danielczyk, a Woodbridge realtor, is running for a 19th district Assembly seat along with restaurateur Reyes Ortega. The district is widely considered safe for Democrats.
Vas, an incumbent Democratic Assemblyman for the 19th district, is also the Mayor of Perth Amboy.
Danielczyk also criticized the other 19th district Assemblyman, John Wisniewski, for abstaining “to help his fellow incumbent.” He went on to call the bill “a complete farce” because of its grandfather clause that would allow current dual office holders to keep both jobs.
Vas and Wisniewski could not be reached for comment

About time
It's about time a Republican starts coming at Vas and is making a serious attempt to challenge him. From what I understand Danielczyk is a true Republican, not one of the half hearted ones already in Trenton. Hopefully he will get some support; we need more like him taking on the entrenched Dems and making noise in safe Dem districts.
Now it will be even better if he puts forth some proposed solutions on issues the Dems have run from like school funding, and cutting spending, and points out how the incumbent stood against property righs. .... if for nothing else then to give Republicans some ideas in forming a cohesive message to gain seats in Trenton; we all know Republicans need a message other than their sorry attempts of the past few years.
Democrats need to be exposed
Paul Danielczyk is the guy to shine the light on the shenanigans of the Democrats.
They claim to be for minorities but defeat any effort to provide educational vouchers. Instead they grab more money to spend on their contractors, their unions, the NJEA and the CWA (Government workers' union) and the kids get the shaft.
Look at the worst school districts in New Jersey and what do they have in common? They are all, without exception, in Democrat strongholds or should I say Democrat Strangleholds.
Unfortunately, the NJGOP thinks the key to winning is to be just like Democrats. I know that Paul is a true Republican, and will contrast the dismal record of Vas.
Go Paul Go!
