NJ Businessman Hires Kellyanne Conway For Run Against Gottheimer

CRESSKILL, NJ — A Bergen County businessman announced he will seek to unseat incumbent U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer in November's election.

Fred Schneiderman, a Cresskill resident, is running as a Republican for Gottheimer's 5th District seat. Schneiderman said he has retained Kellyanne Conway, former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, and Larry Weitzner, who worked on Trump's ad campaigns in 2016 and 2020.

“The Democrat-controlled Congress whose left-wing agenda is wreaking havoc on America—needs to be fired in 2022," said Schneiderman in a news release. "They have failed America. They have given us runaway inflation, government mandates and foolish spending. Despite all the posturing and posing, Josh Gottheimer is part of the problem as he is in lockstep with the Biden-Pelosi socialist agenda.”

Scheiderman is the founder of FBS Properties, an energy investment company.

“On election day, Fifth District voters can express their dissatisfaction with Democrat-sponsored socialism by flipping the House and retiring Mr. Gottheimer," he added. "In 2022, New Jersey voters can reject the programs that have increased prices at the gas pump, the grocery store, made our southern border unsecure, and created a hiring crisis by paying people not to work. The problem will be solved when we reject their policies and the politicians like Gottheimer that vote for them."
