Ahead of the Fourth of July holiday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is launching a targeted digital ad campaign calling on Congressman Tom MacArthur to ‘Declare his Independence’ from his record of short-changing his former employees.

As an insurance CEO, MacArthur profited while his company refused to provide millions company employees were due in overtime pay. Earlier this year a court ordered MacArthur’s former company to pay more than $8.8 million in back overtime, interest, and penalties to 122 former employees.

Given MacArthur’s history of shortchanging his own employees when it comes to overtime pay, New Jersey’s hardworking families shouldn’t count on MacArthur joining the President’s call to make more Americans eligible for fair overtime pay.

“We know that Congressman MacArthur shortchanged his own employees for years, and New Jersey voters are quickly finding out that MacArthur is shortchanging them in Washington,” said Jeb Fain of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “New Jersey voters deserve far better than a politician who thinks the rules just don’t apply to him.”
