Garrett’s record of loyal support for the Bush Administration Ought to Enable Him to Secure the Funds Necessary to Make Northern New Jersey Safe

Haworth, NJ: The Shulman for Congress campaign today expressed regret that New Jersey’s Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), which includes Bergen and Passaic counties, would receive a 5 percent cut from last year in Bush’s budget.

“Homeland Security is a critical concern for all Americans, but especially those of us who live in Northern New Jersey,” said Dennis Shulman, the Democratic nominee in New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District. “New Jersey’s security has been consistently undercut by the Bush Administration – when I am in Congress, I will put my constituents’ safety first.”

“I call upon Scott Garrett to ask his friend in the White House, George Bush, to provide New Jersey the resources we require. Garrett is a strong ally of George Bush and has chosen Bush’s failed policies on the economy, the war, and gas prices over the interests of his constituents for six years. Bush owes him something for New Jersey in return.”

Dennis Shulman was recently profiled by The New Yorker and Time as momentum for his campaign continues to grow, and recent polling in the district validates the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s recent decision to upgrade NJ-5 as an “Emerging Race.” Only 31% of likely voters in NJ-5 plan to re-elect Garrett and, by a 68-17% margin, the district seeks change from George Bush’s policies.

Dr. Dennis Shulman has gained international recognition for his 30 years of work as a psychologist, educator, and author. An ordained rabbi for five years and blind since childhood, he has lived in New Jersey’s Fifth District for more than 25 years with his wife, Dr. Pamela Tropper, an obstetrician. They have two adult daughters.
