Jay Webber Visits Retirement Home In The Caldwells

CALDWELL, NJ — As the race for soon-to-retire U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen’s seat in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional district heats up, Assemblyman Jay Webber paid a visit to a senior citizen living home in the Caldwells last weekend.

Webber, the Republican nominee for NJ-11, attended a breakfast event at Crane’s Mill, a continuing care retirement community in West Caldwell on Sunday.

“Thanks for having me at the West Caldwell #GOTV breakfast at Crane's Mill,” Webber wrote on Twitter. “I enjoyed starting the day with enthusiastic voters who believe in a future that is better for everyone in #NJ11.”

During the event, Webber got a chance to meet the mother of his 6th grade teacher, Peg Pomorski.

“Thanks to her daughter, Mrs. Wittman, and all my teachers who gave me the tools to succeed growing up in North Jersey,” Webber said.

Webber was also seen at North Caldwell’s annual Town Picnic in September.
