Del Monico has worked campaigns in Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada, California and Arizona.

I continue to be amazed by the anonymous comments that criticize those who are in the arena doing their best to deliver for the people of New Jersey. As someone who worked with Tim Del Monico, I can assure you of his commitment to public service and personally testify to his successful efforts to protect New Jersey's natural resources as the Legislative Assistant advising Congressman Pallone on environmental issues.
