ARONSOHN SETS UP CONGRESSIONAL EXPLORATORY CAMPAIGN
Ridgewood - Former Clinton Administration official Paul Aronsohn today announced the formation of a congressional exploratory campaign in New Jersey’s 5th district.
"My reason for doing this is simple," explained Aronsohn. "I care passionately about our State and our Country, and I am deeply concerned about the direction in which we are heading.
* · Too many New Jerseyans struggle day after challenging day to make ends meet, while our elected officials borrow and spend our nation further into debt.
* · Too many New Jerseyans struggle to get quality healthcare, while our elected officials – all of whom have taxpayer-funded coverage – do little to make the system better.
* · And too many New Jerseyans struggle to build a secure future for themselves and their children, while our elected officials take dangerous risks with our economy, our environment, and our retirement program."
Aronsohn, who also served a year in the McGreevey Administration, has spent most of his professional career in public service, including eight years working on foreign policy and national security issues under President Clinton. The Bergen County resident is currently an executive with one of the world's most respected healthcare companies, Pfizer Inc.
"We need a new generation of leaders - one who rejects the politics of cynicism and ideology, and embraces a politics of hope and moderation -- a new generation who recognizes that extreme politics - and the politicians who peddle it - do nothing to make people’s lives better."
"In essence, we need a new generation of leaders who is committed to an old-fashioned idea - that public service should be about serving the taxpaying public."
Aronsohn plans to make a formal decision concerning the 2006 election by the end of this year.
"I will be spending the weeks and months ahead talking with and listening to the people of the 5th District. I will be traveling around the area to meet with community leaders and to participate in an ongoing conversation with the people of north and northwest New Jersey - the people who work hard, live right, and make our community such a special place."
