CD7 Candidate (Janice Kovach): More Money Needs to Be Put Back Into Infrastructure

"Leonard Lance was pro-environment when he was in Trenton. He has not supported the initiatives, he has supported the pipelines that have been coming through, focusing it as a job opportunity but it’s not necessarily New Jersey jobs.”

Kovach says that climate change is an issue that needs to be addressed because it will not go away. She said that the state needs renewable energy and needs to look at infrastructure for wind and solar energies. Kovach also said that the state needs to offer other subsidies to encourage renewable energy rather than focusing solely on fossil fuels.

On the issue of immigration, Lance has opposed granting amnesty and has said that more money needs to be spent on securing the U.S borders. Kovach says that immigration reform needs to be looked at and that individuals are coming into the U.S. for a reason, fleeing either poverty or crime.

“At the same time we need to give them a clear path so those that have come here, give them a clear path to legalization or citizenship and then at the same time work to ensure that the border has what it needs,” said Kovach. “The issue is bigger than just our borders. The issue goes beyond and we need to understand what’s driving the population.”


There's a video at the link. She's worth a listen/watch.

CD-7 - has a dynastic history - The Foran and Lance families (current Congressman is a Lance) have run the place for a long time. And Lance - doesn't understand that his districts priorities have changed. And well time and again he cares more about representing the values and views of TEA Partiers spread out in TX and TN than Moderates in Horse Country NJ that live so close in all of these small picturesque towns - that we can't help but communicate with each other.

One thing she needs is money - and another would be assistance with social media link backs.

So in this GOTV season - anything you can do to help would be great. I know we have some folks in districts that are solid Democratic and there is no need to lift a finger - but even placing calls from afar would be of help.
