Extreme far-right Republicans who will take away your freedoms.

Narolewski, Pakradooni and Wingate are part of the NJ far-right Republicans team that is undermining democracy, pushing conspiracy theories, and taking away women’s reproductive rights.

Irresponsible on spending and will make living in Gloucester County more expensive.

Republicans running for office in Gloucester County oppose the county spending freeze.

Adam Wingate voted for higher spending and higher property taxes in Harrison Township from 2020-2022, every year he’s been in office, raising Harrison Township’s taxes 17%.⁷

Pakradooni and the County GOP Chair spoke out against a three-year spending freeze⁸, and Republicans on the Board of Commissioners voted against it.

In fact, Steve Pakradooni says spending will have to increase in 2023.

…what's going to happen in the 2023 budgets is we're going to have to increase spending…

While the far-right Republican team opposes plans to freeze spending and cut taxes…they haven’t paid their own taxes.

Pakradooni and Wingate have a long history of not paying their own taxes.

Pakradooni:

Owed more than $33,000 in unpaid New Jersey taxes.
Owed more than $33,400 in unpaid federal taxes.
Owed more than $26,000 in back taxes to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
Sued six times for more than $20,000 in unpaid debts.⁹

Wingate:

Racked up a court judgment and $50,422 in state tax liens.¹⁰

Involved in politics for their own financial gain and want to raise taxes to profit off our local government.

Narolewski and his insurance company profited from no-bid government contracts in areas where he gave money to local politicians.¹¹

After he lost a state Senate campaign, Steve Pakradooni’s wife got a $51,542 political job in a Republican Gloucester County Commissioner’s office, despite not having any relevant experience.

Pakradooni and Wingate don’t even vote in most elections.

Pakradooni didn’t register to vote until 6 years ago, when he was 49 years old. Since then he’s been on the ballot six times – and voted 6 times.¹²
Wingate fails to vote 60% of the time.¹³

THE BOTTOM LINE

We can’t let extreme far-right Republicans win control over Gloucester County government and elections.
