My name is Ed Farmer . . . This went on Facebook this morning . . . There will be a more formal announcement later.
It's official . . .
I am a candidate for the New Jersey State Assembly.
I am running in Legislative District 6 which includes the towns of Berlin Township, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Gibbsboro, Haddon, Haddonfield, Hi-Nella, Maple Shade, Merchantville, Oaklyn, Pennsauken, Somerdale, Stratford, Tavistock, Voorhees.
Our state government is broken. The governor makes up the rules as he goes. Our courts rewrite laws as they see fit. Our legislature sits there fat, dumb and happy that they can escape responsibility for anything that happens.
We have automatic fuel tax increases. We have virtually automatic income tax increases. Property taxes in New Jersey are the highest in the nation with no sign of slowed growth. The government grows and requires more of your money while they assume that you can do with less.
It's time for the people to take control back from the politicians. It's time for the legislature to stand up and take responsibility for what has been going on.
This CAN be done, but we all need to take control and send a message to Trenton by sending new messengers.
If you live in the district, I need your help and support. If you do not, there are others who need you, but I will be happy to hear from all of you. A campaign page will be set up soon, but please don't hesitate to reach out starting today.
