Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Cryan (D-Union) released the following statement on Friday after an appellate court overturned Gov. Chris Christie’s executive order seeking to restrict unions from contributing to political campaigns:
“This is a victory for millions of working class New Jerseyans who wish to participate in our democratic process. It’s also another rebuke for a governor who too often would rather rule by dictatorial fiat.
“Executive orders must be based on existing statutory powers, not on restricting the free speech of millions of working New Jerseyans. Fortunately, the appellate court upheld the rights of working men and women and hopefully it’s a lesson learned for our governor.”
