Assemblywomen Margie Donlon (Ocean Twp) and Luanne Peterpaul (D-Long Branch) released their first television ad of the year as the pair seek a second term in the 11th legislative district.
The 30-second, fast-paced ad features local law enforcement officers announcing their support of the pair, including their handling of issues like tax relief and public safety.
Donlon and Peterpaul were two of dozens of incumbents to receive an endorsement from the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association. The announcement did not say how much money will back the ad.
The pair flipped the Monmouth County-based district in 2023 (after some slight adjustments in redistricting), and the 11th is once again expected to be competitive this fall. The ad also features Donlon and Peterpaul walking with state Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Long Branch), who is also the campaign chair for Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s (D-Montclair) gubernatorial campaign.
The Democrats will face real estate professional Jessica Ford and former Neptune City Mayor Andrew Wardell in the November general election.
Script:
“You know what time it is? Can’t be. Again? It’s time to vote. For both Margie and Luanne. They show up for us. Luanne’s the best. Love Margie. We’re finally getting real property tax relief. Renters are getting help too. My mother-in-law’s gonna get 50 percent back on property taxes. (beep). Yeah I love my mother-in-law! They’re working with Vin Gopal to keep us safe. Luanne was a prosecutor and a judge, she’s one of us. And Margie’s a doc, not a typical politician. Those ads talking [beep] about Margie and Luanne? They’re full of it. I don’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat. Or can’t stand either party. Trust me. Trust us. That’s why I’m voting. I’m voting…Margie Donlon and Luanne Peterpaul for Assembly.”
