Former State Senator Ed “The Trucker” Durr made the difficult decision not to file nominating petitions for Governor today.
“My supporters are the best! They worked down to the wire to ensure I have enough signatures to qualify for the ballot, and I thank them for their love and support,” Ed ‘The Trucker’ Durr said. “Unfortunately, the second part of the equation is money. We will not qualify for matching funds. Without matching funds we are out of the debates, making it difficult to get our message beyond those who already support this campaign.”
Durr continued, “Additionally, this campaign has always been about making New Jersey affordable. That is not going to happen without a conservative candidate who supports President Trump and the MAGA movement.
“I will not make the mistakes that were made in the gubernatorial primary four years ago and split the MAGA conservative vote. Jon Bramnick openly admits he is not MAGA and Jack Ciattarelli has always been a never-Trumper.
“While there are two of us carrying the conservative message of the MAGA movement only one has the financial resources necessary to carry that message through to November. I am ending my campaign so Bill Spadea can use all his campaign resources to defeat the two never-Trumpers in this race and carry a conservative message to November.”
“I am not going away, I will continue to fight for our conservative values and then there are other races on the horizon,” Durr said. “I owe a huge thank you to my wife, my kids and a big group of supporters I will call individually over the next several days. To everyone else, I’ll see you all on the trail.”
