NJ-5th Camille Abate To Stand Up For American Families Struggling With the Costs of Health Care, Housing, Energy, Gasoline and Education

Glen Rock, NJ-

Camille Abate, Democratic candidate for the House of Representatives from New Jersey's 5th District, vows to be a voice for the middle class in Congress. Describing America's middle class as "forgotten," Abate pledges to be the voice for voters in the 5th District and across America who are struggling to meet the costs of health care, energy, gasoline and education.

Abate is on the ballot in the June 3 Democratic primary, where she will face Dennis Shulman and expects to be on the ballot in the general election in November against Rep. Scott Garrett, the Republican incumbent.

"The harsh reality is that millions of Americans are struggling to get ahead, a situation made even worse by the weak national economy," said Abate. "I know that for a fact, from personal experience, and I'm determined to do everything in my power to level the playing field for these forgotten Americans. Washington will soon learn that it is dealing with a person who will fight for what's right and will refuse to take no for an answer."

On health care, Abate calls for affordable and universal medical and prescription care for all Americans.

On energy, she advocates mobilizing the best and brightest scientific minds to achieve less dependence on foreign oil, to stimulate the economy with the active development of renewable energy and to protect the environment and reduce global warming.

On the economy, Abate supports protecting jobs for American workers and providing assistance for workers who are displaced during the economic downturn. She proposes incentives for American businesses to create employment opportunities and to encourage businesses to initiate new products and programs. And she calls for greater supervision of the financial markets and institutions to restore public confidence.

On education, she believes in sufficient federal funding to ensure quality education throughout New Jersey and for affordable college education for all.

Finally, she calls for the United States withdrawal from Iraq. "It's time to end the war in Iraq and focus on our families instead," Abate said. "The first big step in getting back on our feet is to return to the policies and practices that made the United States the greatest country in the world," continued Abate. "That I pledge to do as a member of the House of Representatives."
