Gottheimer: Garrett’s Career Opposition To Clean Water Hangs Families Out To Dry
Press Release •
Josh Gottheimer, candidate for Congress in the 5th District, today called out Tea Party incumbent Scott Garrett for a career of fierce opposition to critical safeguards that have left New Jersey children and families vulnerable to dangerous and unhealthy chemicals in our drinking water.
"Scott Garrett has built a career out of dismantling common sense water protections for our children and families," said Gottheimer. "He has consistently fought against investments to fix and improve safe water infrastructure. Time and again, he has voted against the Clean Water Act. Clean water shouldn't be a partisan issue, but Garrett has routinely put his extreme Tea Party ideology ahead of the health and safety of our children and families."
