Campaign themes

2017

On their shared campaign website,Thomas Duch,Paul Vagianos, andChristine Ordway highlighted the following issues:

“

Pension Reform

  • For too long, the State of New Jersey has failed to meet its obligations for funding the pension system, which has led to a funding crisis and insolvency.

Area and State Issues

  • Fighting for our area’s fair share of state funding in Trenton must be an ongoing, top priority. Additionally, front door conversations with voters in each of the 15 towns in our Assembly district have revealed issues and concerns specific to each locality.

Fundamental Rights

  • We support equal rights for all citizens of New Jersey, regardless of their race, religion, gender identification, or sexual orientation.

Flooding

  • Despite numerous studies and discussions over the course of many years, very little has changed for homeowners impacted by ongoing flooding. Bold, new action is required.

Fiscal Reform

  • We must recognize that New Jersey is in the midst of an acute fiscal crisis and that addressing this predicament is a precondition to solving many of the state’s other longstanding problems. New Jersey’s dismal rankings on virtually every key indicator underscore the imperative that we substantially overhaul the way we tax, spend, invest, and operate.[2]
”
—Thomas Duch, Paul Vagianos, and Christine Ordway[3]
