Rep. John Lewis campaigns for Gottheimer as 5th District race heats up
With just two weeks to go before Election Day, the campaign for New Jersey's 5th District ratcheted up Tuesday with an appearance from a civil rights icon, food-policy advocates canvassing in Maywood, and nearly $1 million in new advertising announced. More than 100 people gathered at the Logan Family Life Center on Tuesday for a campaign rally on behalf of Josh Gottheimer, the Democrat running in a tight race against incumbent Scott Garrett.
