Issue Position: Constitutional and Conscience Rights

Issue Position

I believe our State should show a healthy respect for the fundamental constitutional and conscience rights of law-abiding citizens. The United States and New Jersey Constitutions should stand as bulwarks against unjustified and unwarranted government interference in the lives of citizens who often ask only to be left alone to live in relative peace and prosperity. My Oath of Office includes my swearing that "I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same" -- and that is an Oath always guiding my decisions and actions as an Assemblyman. In keeping with that, I have fought for accountability for the government authorities charged with conducting background checks and granting gun permits or identification cards, for protection of firearms records from certain government disclosures, and to excuse college students with conflicts of conscience from certain class requirements.
