Learn the facts before you vote. See why Erik Peterson is the right Republican for America.
Compare the CandidatesLike you, I’ve been frustrated with what I see happening to America. The radical Democrats want to take away our freedom, our guns, our right to free speech, control our bodies, and destroy our American way of life. The Establishment Republicans are more concerned about their social status and relationships than fighting for us. Vote for me, and I will fight for you, our Republican values, and our freedom.”
– Erik Peterson

CPAC recognizes Peterson for his conservative voting record
Peterson has a 95% Lifetime Rating with the American Conservative Union, the highest lifetime ranking for any elected official in NJ, proof of his conservative principles in three areas:
1. Fiscal and economic (Taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare and property).
2. Social and cultural: Second Amendment, religion, life, welfare and education.
3. Government integrity: Voting, individual liberty, privacy and transparency.
During the 12 years that I have served in the legislature I have been an unwavering advocate and outspoken voice for Republican values of small limited government, low taxes, and defending the limitations on government set forth in both our Federal and State Constitutions. I have always had an "A" rating with New Jersey Right to Life and the NRA. I was advocating for medical freedom long before COVID-19 and all of Governor Murphy's mandates made most New Jerseyians realize the value of the individual right to say "no" to government forcing you to be injected with any substance without your voluntary consent. My voting record and the way I have lived my life demonstrates, that to me, being a Republican is more than just a name, but is a way of life.
