A champion for two decades of civility in American government and politics, state Senator Jon Bramnick (R-21) plans to refine and reintroduce a 2005 bipartisan resolution of his that prioritizes civility in the Garden State.
“The spirit of that resolution is as important as ever,” said Bramnick, against the backdrop of an assassination attempt this past Saturday of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., an increasingly acrimonious national campaign cycle.
“Let me be clear,” the senator added. “Debating our political differences makes us stronger. But that debate should never devolve into hateful rhetoric, treating opponents as enemies, or turning to violence.”
Throughout his career, fighting the majority Democratic Party in Trenton, Bramnick has consistently represented, even embodied, this belief.
