Flanked by local officials, the National Chaplains Association last night honored Congressman Jeff Van Drew.
The Association honored the Congressman for his advocacy on behalf of the Lakewood community in Washington.
Van Drew became a member of the Republican Party after leaving the Democratic Party in 2020 due to their support for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
“The picture of Republicans that is painted by Democrats and their allies in the media is mostly false; in fact, many of my former colleagues firmly believe the Republican Party is the sole cause of many societal ills.
It is this unjustified logic that allows them to treat their colleagues, their constituents and their fellow citizens with disdain and call them deplorable, or worse. We must work in concert to keep America unified and push back against that ignorance.
I have never been driven by partisan politics, only a desire to better the lives of my constituents.
America is under immense pressure to turn its back on the things that have made it exceptional. Make no mistake, many proposals put forth by the House majority in this Congress, while cloaked in the language of good intentions, are not governed by truth and are communistic in nature.
Many continue to run away from America. I cannot – I must run toward America. I will fight for my district, my state, and my nation.”
