Who did Andrews represent, Who will his heir apparent represent?

New Jersey recently witnessed the retirement of Congressman Rob Andrews. There have been letters of praise for him. The letters ignored that he is the man who bragged of his authorship of The Affordable Care Act, and his long standing pro-abortion. The ACA legislation is pouring tax moneys into medical care resulting in increased cost of the already expensive health insurance. Not only are premiums rising, but deductibles are soaring. He has loved spending bills.
According to the Federal Election Commission, Andrews received 160 campaign contributions in 2013. 72 donations were from PAC’s registered in Washington D.C., 44 were from outside NJ, and 34 were from states in the Midwest, while only eight were from within the State of New Jersey. A heavy number were from insurance company PAC’s and Government Employee PAC’s. All the praise heaped in Andrews’ direction does not seem to have questioned who he represented.

Voters know that donated money buys political power and support.  Ask how ethical it is for insurance companies, attorneys and unions to donate to candidates involved in writing the ACA. Talking heads on the TV will not tell you who is corrupting the government. In the NJ’s First Congressional District we have a long time established Democrat name running for Andrews’s seat. The upcoming election might take us, our children and grandchildren further into debt, if the democrat front runner gets the nod. Will this change the source of campaign funding? Or do you want New Jersey's vote to be for more taxing and spending, increasing the government control, and debts?
