They keep saying $153. That was primary money that was spent prior to the primary,\u201d he said, briefly addressing the infamous reports of him spending $153 on his pre-primary campaign.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou have filing dates when you run for office and how much you take in, and that was how much I spent prior to the primary. After the primary I spent in the area of about $6,500 to $7,500,\u201d he said explaining that while people say that is not a lot of money, it is a lot for everyday working people.<\/p>\n<p>His campaign strategy, he explained, involved meeting face to face with people \u2014 going to rallies, shaking hands, and listening to people\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to listen to what they are feeling,\u201d he said. \u201cThat is the only way you\u2019re going to know what\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I was listening more. That\u2019s the problem with your longtime career politicians. They just want to talk talk talk about themselves and not hear the people\u2019s voice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>While Durr said people in New Jersey are often concerned with issues such as high taxes, people were more concerned with their \u201cinalienable rights that were being trampled upon\u201d this time around.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou were told that you couldn\u2019t have your job because of COVID-19. You were told that you couldn\u2019t go to the store,\u201d he said, recalling how mom and pop shops were shut down while big-box retailers remained open. All the while, people were told they could not gather for worship at religious institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are rights that are given to you by God, not by man, and man cannot take them away from you,\u201d he said, noting that the people made it clear \u201cthey were angry.\u201d So more than anything, Durr said, he encouraged them to vote, telling them, \u201cVote if you want your voice heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe need to build an army because this is a fight. You must have an army to fight back because ultimately, we are fighting what they are trying to drive forth, and we will not let that happen,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to describe his message to New Jersey Gov. Murphy (D), who survived reelection, Durr issued a stark warning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGov. Murphy has to know, he\u2019s referred to me as dangerous. Well, I will be dangerous to Gov. Murphy. I will be dangerous to his policies. If he continues to try to trample upon the citizens\u2019 rights and continue to harm them \u2014 my personal belief is his actions resulted in the death of nearly 8,000-10,000 elderly in the nursing homes,\u201d Durr said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_17520506\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"37\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Phil-Murphy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17520506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Phil-Murphy.jpg\" alt=\"New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy talks to reporters after voting in Red Bank, N.J., Tuesday, June 8, 2021.

You know the most important office of all. Let\u2019s take the school boards back. Let\u2019s start with the children in school. Let\u2019s get back to the education, stop the indoctrination. That is one of the most important aspects. I look forward to seeing more moms and dads getting involved in the school boards and saying, \u2018No, you\u2019re not going to force-feed this indoctrination down my children\u2019s throat. I\u2019m going to be there to watch over my children.\u2019 So, yes, I absolutely do think there is going to be a stronger wave coming,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.-elect Ed Durr, the New Jersey Republican\u00a0truck driver who defeated Democrat Senate President Steve Sweeney in a shocking upset in last week\u2019s election, told Breitbart News Saturday\u00a0he will be \u201cdangerous\u201d &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1008260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1008260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1008260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1008260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1008260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1008260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1008260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
