| Earlier today, Douglas Herbert's Congressional Campaign announced they had secured the endorsement of General Wesley Clark, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander. The announcement, now prominently displayed on the homepages of both the Doug Herbert Campaign and WesPAC, emphasizes Herbert's military service and continued dedication towards service as a human-rights lawyer. The endorsement closed with the message, "I endorse Douglas Herbert not simply because he is the right choice for New Jersey's Eleventh District, but because he is the right choice to help move our country forward."
This endorsement comes at a critical moment for Douglas Herbert, who is locked in a race against eight-term incumbent and fourteenth richest member of Congress Rodney Frelinghuysen for the seat representing New Jersey's eleventh district. Veterans issues, which will surely come to the forefront of this contest following the endorsement, is not an area where Frelinghuysen could claim an advantage after both voting against the GI Bill and receiving low marks from the League of Disabled Veterans. Douglas Herbert has made it a priority of his to ensure that military hospitals and the VA receive the funding they need.
Douglas Herbert's Campaign is quickly gaining traction. What was once a token opposition to a safe Republican seat is quickly gathering momentum in grassroots donors and volunteer-driven campaigning. General Wesley Clark's endorsement, one of just two nationwide as of this writing, is sure to do a world of good for Douglas Herbert. |
