Whelan "strongly" encourages Andrews to run

by: Juan Melli

Mon Mar 31, 2008 at 10:43:35 PM EDT



Late this evening, State Senator Jim Whelan became the first elected official to publicly announce his support for a US Senate primary campaign by Congressman Rob Andrews.

"In light of today's news stories regarding Congressman Rob Andrews' interest in running for the U.S. Senate this year, I strongly encourage Rob to run," said Whelan in a statement.

Whelan continued: "Rob has been an outstanding Congressman and a part of our extended family here in Atlantic County.  He has always been there for us throughout his tenure in the House and there's no doubt that his being at the top of our state's ballot this year would be a huge benefit to our local ticket. As Atlantic County's highest ranking Democratic official I urge Rob to consider getting in the race."

I like Andrews. He is my Congressman.  I work on Capitol Hill, for another member.  But Andrews, I always find, is a straight talker who doesn't take any crap on the floor from Republicans.  He always confronts their arguments directly and speaks honestly for the things he believes in. The most recent example I can remember were his remarks on the floor in favor of gay rights in the workplace.  Succinct and smart.
