Schundler Gubernatorial Campaign Hits The Road
(TRENTON, FEBRUARY 13) - Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler formally launched his campaign for the Republican gubernatorial nomination at a Tuesday morning rally on the steps of the New Jersey Statehouse.
Schundler made the announcement before boarding a bus set to make 25 stops in all of New Jersey's 21 counties over the next three days. The bus is the same one used by Arizona Senator John McCain during his 2000 presidential campaign.
Schundler, the three-time elected mayor of Jersey City, said that he is not concerned about the large number of "establishment Republicans" working against his campaign, noting that he has won two landslide elections in a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans almost 8-to-1.
The Statehouse rally was the first event in a three-day, statewide bus tour that will take Schundler from the northernmost corner of New Jersey at High Point State Park in Sussex County, to the southernmost tip at the Southern Mansion in Cape May.
During this trip, which will swing through, Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic counties on Day One, Schundler will talk to the people of New Jersey about his vision for truly reforming education, lowering property taxes, and improving the quality of life in the Garden State.
During these three days, Mayor Schundler will visit a charter school in Atlantic County, a home schooling family in Gloucester, local business owners in Somerset and Warren, seniors in Middlesex, and people in every other county of the state. This includes an address he will deliver to a large rally of supporters in Bergen County Wednesday evening.
The three-day bus tour will conclude Thursday evening with a gala celebration at the Atrium Waterfront in Jersey City.
