NJ Policemen's Benevolent Assoc. Endorses Becchi Over Sherrill
In 2018 the association endorsed Mikie Sherrill over Jay Webber. Now, they are backing her opponent.
PARSIPPANY, NJ - New Jersey State PBA Board of Delegates voted Wednesday to endorse nearly the entire Republican slate for president, Congress and state legislature. And that includes Rosemary Becchi, the challenger for the NJ 11 Congressional seat.
In 2018, the NJ PBA backed Leonard Lance over Tom Malinowski and Tom MacArthur over Andy Kim. The group also endorsed Mikie Sherrill in the 11th district over Jay Webber. This year, they are supporting Becchi.
"Police officers are our neighbors and friends who have dedicated their lives to protecting our communities," Becchi said in a statement. "I am honored to be endorsed by the NJ State PBA. Their courage and sacrifice is an inspiration to us all."
