Official Statement of Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon Regarding Democrats’ Memorial Day Snub
May 26, 2026
COLTS NECK, NJ – “This Memorial Day, while residents across New Jersey proudly honored our military heroes who paid the ultimate price for our freedom, Gov. Sherill and New Jersey Democrats chose this sacred day to protest outside an ICE detention center in Newark. This was nothing more than a shameful and desperate performative stunt – a disgrace to our Country and our State. As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, the NJGOP remains committed to restoring the American Dream in New Jersey by fighting for common-sense solutions to make life more affordable, supporting law enforcement and ensuring the safety of all New Jerseyans.”
-NJGOP Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon
