 NORTHFIELD – After totals across Atlantic County were tallied Tuesday night, Senator Vince Polistina and Assemblymembers-elect Don Guardian and Claire Swift declared a full team victory across Legislative District Two’s three seats.

“Don, Claire and I are overwhelmed by the amount of support we have received from every corner of the district,” Senator Polistina said. “The polls and pundits might have counted us out, but we zeroed in on winning the most important endorsement of all, from the people of Atlantic County. We look forward to serving our district’s hardworking residents and ushering in much-needed change to Trenton.”

“I am honored to receive the full faith and trust of the people of Atlantic County,” Guardian said. “It’s been 15 years since Trenton has heard a united voice speaking out from our corner of the state. Working as a team with Vince and Claire, we will fight for all of what South Jersey deserves and always put Atlantic County first.”

“Tonight, the people of Atlantic County delivered a strong message that they will not be easily fooled by millions of dollars in dirty lies and false attacks,” Swift said. “Instead, our team worked hard on the campaign trail and focused in on a singular, positive message—bringing commonsense solutions to Trenton and keeping costs affordable for all South Jersey’s families. This will be our mission working for you.”
