Today, Brian Varela announced his No Negativity Pledge for New Jersey's 7th Congressional District Democratic primary, committing to run a campaign focused on issues, not attacks. "Democrats can't waste time and energy tearing each other down when the fight to flip the House is too important," said Varela. I will only respond if I'm attacked first, and if any untrue or unfair hit pieces come out about any of my opponents, I'll denounce them. Varela's pledge includes a commitment to avoid beginning any negative attacks, respond only when directly attacked, and publicly denounce any false or unfair attacks against his Democratic opponents, regardless of their source. Varela is asking all of his opponents to join him on this no negativity pledge.
