Passaic, NJ According to the Federal Elections Commission, Bill Pascrell has strong ties with Donal Scarinci, the powerful North Jersey lawyers who was secretly recorded using Menendez's name to pressure a Hudson County psychiatrist to hire a doctor. Since 1997, Pascrell has received $11,200 from Donald Scarinci. Just last year, he received $2,000 from Scarinci.

Corruption scandals have been at the forefront of New Jersey politics, especially for Senator Bob Menendez this year. Pascrell’s campaign donations show that he too is involved with the same people that have shown to practice unethical behavior.

The voters of the 8th Congressional District are tired of corrupted politicians and business as usual. They deserve to know what is Pascrell’s relationship with Scarinci and with Dr. Oscar Sandoval, said Jose Sandoval, candidate for U.S. Congress (NJ-08). Pascrell needs to return Scarinci’s donations, they are tainted money. (Dr. Oscar Sandoval is not related to Jose Sandoval)

It is time to elect a leader that will listen to the voters and not special interest, and will fight for those that need it the most, added Sandoval. I know that the voters of 8th district want change and will vote for me this November.

Jose Sandoval is running for New Jersey’s Eight Congressional District. Jose is of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent, and immigrated to the United States in the early 1970’s, where he has been a resident of New Jersey ever since. Jose has a BA in Economics and Finance from Rutgers University, and a law degree from Cleveland State University. He owns an urban real estate company in Passaic, New Jersey.

Jose and his wife, Amy, have four children.
