Republican Senate Leader Anthony Bucco (R-25) believes a new FDU survey showing a supermajority of New Jersey residents supportive of the parental rights movement is good news for his caucus as Election Day nears.
“The FDU poll reaffirms what Republicans have been saying all along, parents do not want the government getting in between them and their children,” Bucco said in a statement. “It is crystal clear that parents want to know what their children are being taught and have a say in their kids’ education. A Republican Majority in the Senate will guarantee that parental rights will be protected.”
GOP legislative campaigns have prominently featured parental rights messaging to varying degrees amid a push by the Murphy Administration to sexualize school curricula, insert social justice agenda items, and sue school districts that attempt to notify parents if children want to use different pronouns or bathrooms at school.
“Republican candidates are using these attacks because they work,” opined Dan Cassino who serves as director of the FDU Poll. “If voters are thinking about parental control of schools when they go to the ballot box, Democrats are in real trouble.”
All 120 seats in the legislature are on the ballot this November.
Our Save Jersey race ratings suggest Republicans can dramatically narrow their margins in both houses this fall and, if they catch lightning in a bottle, flip control of a chamber.
