CAPE MAY – Job creator, entrepreneur, and real estate developer Cape May’s Curtis Bashaw Seeking GOP Nomination for Senate Seat.
“I’m running for United States Senate because we, as a nation, need to get back to our basic core values of liberty, prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness,” said Bashaw. “Too many New Jerseyans believe the American Dream is out of reach and that Washington isn’t working in their best interests. I’m running to bring freedom, security, and opportunity to all New Jersey families — not just the political elite.”
American Dream
“Inflation is hurting New Jersey families, and our open border is a national security threat and a humanitarian crisis,” Bashaw continued. “D.C. politicians haven’t been able to fix these serious problems, and as a result, our freedom and security are in jeopardy. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on bringing people together, finding common-sense solutions, and helping communities reach their economic potential — and that’s exactly what I’ll do in the United States Senate.”
Bashaw announced that State Senator and Cumberland County GOP Chairman Mike Testa will serve as Chairman for the 2024 election. In 2020, Testa served as Co-Chairman for the Trump for President Campaign in New Jersey.
Murphy Fatigue
“It’s time to make a change from the disastrous Biden-Menendez-Murphy policies that are failing New Jersey middle-class families,” said Senator Testa. “Curtis Bashaw has been a friend and supporter for many years. He’s an employer who’s created over one thousand jobs that will bring back the American Dream for all New Jerseyans. I look forward to working with Curtis and his team to create a winning campaign that fights for freedom, security, and opportunity for every New Jersey taxpayer.”
Other Republican candidates in the contest include Christine Serrano-Glassner, the mayor of Mendham, New Jersey, who has already launched an attack against Bashaw on X.
