New Jersey Assembly members Gerry Scharfenberger and Vicky Flynn announce their campaign for re-election to the State Assembly in New Jersey’s 13th Legislative District. With a proven record of fighting for Monmouth County’s values, Flynn and Scharfenberger remain steadfast in their commitment to public safety, fiscal responsibility, and effective representation in Trenton, they said in their press release announcing the start of their campaign for the June primary and November elections.
Flynn and Scharfenberger were the first to take decisive action addressing the rise in crime, championing legislation to combat car thefts and home invasions and demanding law enforcement be provided the tools to fight this uptick in crime. Their leadership has set the standard for keeping Monmouth County families safe.
“In these challenging times, Monmouth County residents deserve leaders who won’t back down when it comes to protecting our communities,” said Flynn. “We’ve been the voice in Trenton fighting for fair educational funding to ensure our schools and taxpayers aren’t left scrambling due to state aid cuts. We have stood strong against reckless overdevelopment that burdens our communities and threatens the quality-of-life Monmouth County families deserve. Seeking re-election as one of the strongest legislative teams in Trenton will allow us to continue delivering real results for Monmouth County.”
The pair have also been tireless advocates for affordability, standing firmly against tax increases, fare hikes for commuters, and government overreach. They have been vocal opponents of unfunded housing mandates, raising the alarm about how these reckless policies will strain local resources and disrupt responsible growth. Flynn and Scharfenberger remain committed to preserving Monmouth County’s character and ensuring that personal freedoms are protected from intrusive government policies.
Flynn and Scharfenberger have been staunch supporters of law enforcement, ensuring police officers have the resources and support they need to do their jobs effectively and safely. They have consistently opposed policies out of Trenton that place unnecessary restrictions or burdens on law enforcement, standing firmly with those who put their lives on the line every day.
“As Republicans, we understand the values and priorities of Monmouth County,” said Scharfenberger. “We’ve fought against reckless spending, dangerous overdevelopment, and policies that hurt hardworking families. We’ll continue fighting to preserve the quality of life that makes our county a great place to live. Supporting law enforcement, advocating for fair educational funding, and defending personal freedoms are key to keeping our communities safe and strong.”
The Assembly duo feel they have earned the trust of Monmouth County residents by also focusing on what matters in The Assembly what matters for safer neighborhoods, smarter governance, and defending the interests of communities in Trenton. With endorsements from trusted local leaders and organizations throughout District 13, their campaign has built a coalition dedicated to safeguarding the interests of our communities.
