VINELAND – Former Cumberland County Freeholder and NJ State Assemblyman from the First Legislative District, Sam Fiocchi, announced March 6, 2018 he has entered the race to replace Congressman Frank LoBiondo. Last week Fiocchi sent letters of intent to run to all the county chairs in the district and he has started calling county committee members, today’s announcement makes his candidacy official.
“I’ve been fielding calls from folks across the congressional district asking me to consider running for Congress since shortly after Senator Van Drew announced he was running back in November,” former Assemblyman Sam Fiocchi said. “Recently, as some Republicans have announced their intentions to run others have called. I’ve discussed the possibility with my family and friends, they are supportive and I’m running.”
Fiocchi continued, “I know our district because I’m from here. I was born here, raised here, went to school here and learned my values right here in South Jersey. I learned these values from my parents, my church, my schools and the people of our congressional district. All values that will serve me well in Washington.”
“As a freeholder and as an assemblyman, I’ve fought for South Jersey and I will continue to standup for South Jersey in Congress.” Fiocchi said, “This district needs a Republican who is unafraid to stand with President Trump because, like it or not, the President’s policies are working. We can’t afford to send a Democrat to Washington who will simply stand with Nancy Pelosi and say no to everything.”
Fiocchi served as a Cumberland County Freeholder 2011-2013 and a member of the General Assembly 2014-2016.
