Corruption Convention: Jeff Van Drew Switched Parties to Pledge Loyalty to President Trump

Aug 27, 2020

Jeff Van Drew used to be a Democrat. But then, in an act of political expediency, he switched parties and pledged his loyalty to President Trump.

Van Drew and Trump are bound by their love of corruption. When Trump held a rally for Van Drew, donations to the New Jersey Congressman’s campaign surged. Van Drew is also in the pocket of the NRA and voted against gun control measures in New Jersey. To top it off, he’s taken $250,000 from corporate PACs over the course of his career.

Amy Kennedy, his opponent, is running a reform-focused campaign and rejecting corporate PAC money. From pledging to support critical reform legislation in Congress like the For the People Act to rolling out a comprehensive anti-corruption plan, she’s demonstrating a commitment to reform that stands in stark contrast to Jeff Van Drew.
