REPORT: Bob Healey Enlists His Mom to Buy Him Congressional Seat

New Politico report reveals Healey’s mother put $2 million into super PAC to help buy her struggling son a congressional seat

Politico is reporting NJ-03 Republican nominee Bob Healey Jr’s mother is trying to buy a congressional seat for him, putting $2 million into a super PAC to support his struggling campaign.

That’s more than twice the amount Healey has raised from donors.

A new super PAC has amassed a huge war chest to spend on behalf of Republican 3rd District congressional candidate Bob Healey Jr., and most of the money comes from his mother. Garden State Advance, which formed in mid-March, received a $2 million donation from Ellen Healey of Wellington, Fla., according to filings with the Federal Election Commission…Super PACs are allowed to raise and spend unlimited sums to help or hurt candidates so long as they don’t coordinate with campaigns.
DCCC Spokesperson James Singer
“At a time when families are struggling to pay bills, Bob Healey Jr. and his mom are throwing around millions of dollars to buy this seat. Healey and his family are making clear they want to push policies in Congress that will benefit his family and his stock portfolio over the needs of New Jersey working families.”
