Hey conservatives, Curtis Bashaw is all right.
That’s the message that came Wednesday night from the Morris County chapter of Moms for Liberty.
This is meaningful because Bashaw by his own admission does not fit in a box when it comes to conventional conservative belief. As he tells everyone in a TV ad, he is pro-choice and gay.
This has caused some problems with the more conservative, or MAGA wing, of the Republican Party.
Mike Crispi of the America First Republicans, for example, sharply criticized one of his debate performances.
With that in mind, Kristen Cobo, the Morris County chair of Moms for Liberty, says she had a virtual discussion with Bashaw.
And he apparently passed the test. She said Bashaw agreed to sign the organization’s parents pledge.
Here is Cobo’s release:
“There is a fundamental disconnect that exists between families and “the system.” Parents often feel they are up against a machine, unheard and frustrated. We are leading the effort to close that gap and effect lasting
change.
During this unprecedented time, moms and dads have had to stand up and fight for the fundamental right to direct the upbringing of our own children. A right that should be inherent in this beautiful and free nation that
we are blessed to live. As parents on the front line of this fight against government overreach, we need to engage and hold elected officials accountable to implement policies that will further our mission: to strengthen parental involvement and decision-making, increase transparency, defend against government overreach and secure parental rights at all levels of government.
Today (Wednesday) I was happy to meet virtually with Curtis Bashaw, U.S. Senate Candidate in NJ. I pressed Mr. Bashaw about the concerns I have regarding dangerous policies coming down from the Department of Education, laws being passed that not only threaten parental rights and harm our most vulnerable, but also dismantle the most sacred system, that of the family.
While I understand that some conservatives have questioned the stance of Mr. Bashaw on certain issues, my focus today was hearing his stance on the teaching of gender ideology in schools, the inclusion of sexually
explicit material in school, allowing biological males in our girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms and sports – as these issues directly impact our ability to provide a safe and prosperous environment for our children.
Mr. Bashaw not only enthusiastically expressed his support of the parental rights movement, he was aligned on all the above issues and signed our Moms for Liberty Parent Pledge. We look forward to continuing these
important conversations and working together to restore parental rights for the safety of our children.”
Polls give Democrat Andy Kim a healthy lead in the U.S. Senate race. That makes it imperative for Bashaw to have all Republicans on his side if he has any chance of pulling off an upset.
This type of support can help.

Bashaw’s leadership in New Jersey has been a topic of much debate and discussion among conservatives in the state. As the Governor of New Jersey, Bashaw has implemented a number of policies and initiatives that have drawn both praise and criticism from those on the right.
One of the key areas where Bashaw’s leadership has been scrutinized by conservatives is in the realm of fiscal policy. Many conservatives believe that Bashaw’s approach to budgeting and spending is too liberal, with a focus on increasing government programs and services rather than cutting costs and reducing taxes. They argue that this approach is unsustainable and will ultimately lead to higher taxes and a bloated government bureaucracy.
Additionally, conservatives have raised concerns about Bashaw’s stance on social issues such as abortion and gun control. Many on the right feel that Bashaw’s support for abortion rights and gun control measures goes against conservative values and principles. They believe that Bashaw’s policies in these areas are out of touch with the beliefs of many New Jersey residents and are not reflective of the conservative values that they hold dear.
Furthermore, some conservatives have criticized Bashaw’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that his response has been overly restrictive and has infringed upon individual liberties. They believe that Bashaw’s lockdown orders and mask mandates have been unnecessary and have had a detrimental impact on the state’s economy.
Despite these criticisms, there are some conservatives who support Bashaw’s leadership and believe that he has done a good job in managing the state. They point to his efforts to improve infrastructure, expand access to healthcare, and address issues such as climate change as evidence of his effectiveness as Governor.
Overall, the conservative perspective on Bashaw’s leadership in New Jersey is mixed. While some on the right applaud his efforts to address important issues facing the state, others feel that his policies are too liberal and do not align with conservative values. As the debate continues, it will be interesting to see how Bashaw’s leadership is ultimately judged by conservatives in New Jersey.
