New Jersey Shopping Mall, Thursday, October 28, 1976
I am here to talk about my favorite candidate
for President my husband, Jerry Ford.
I am very proud of the job he is doing
If
you remember those dark days when he took office,
you know how much better we all feel about America
and about ourselves
Since he has been in office inflation has
been cut in half. More than three and one-half million
more Americans are working today than at this time last
year.
Jerry Ford has made the tough choices that have
saved billions of your tax dollars. And if you keep him
of the job he will continue to work to reduce spending
and the size of government. The President has proven
by actions that he is committed to reducing taxes.
You know where President Ford stands and how he performs.
November 2nd, I hope you will vote for this strong and
experienced leader
who wants to continue the work he
has begun so well.

New Jersey Background
Monmouth County is the site of some of the Nation's
first beach resorts. Today the shore continues to attract
thousands to the summer homes in the area, but more and
more people are living there year-round and commuting
to North Jersey and even Manhattan. The flatlands behind
the beaches have been the area of greatest growth recently.
Most of Monmouth County is in New Jersey's 3rd
district, which traditionally has been Republican.
However, since 1964, the district has been represented
by Democrat James Howard. He has generally down well
despite his liberal record. His GOP opponent is
Ralph Siciliano, a 34-year-old electrical engineer from
Red Bank. Siciliano is described as a good candidate,
but a long-shot to win. He has a B.S. from Manhattan
College and a master's from New Jersey Institute of
Technology. He is married and has two children.
Democratic Senator Harrison Williams is seeking
his fourth term. His GOP opponent is David Norcross,
a 40-year-old Trenton lawyer. Norcross is a graduate
of the University of Delaware. He attended law school
at the University of Pennsylvania. He is married and
has two children. An attractive candidate, he is not
given a very good chance of winning.
The PFC contact in New Jersey, Tony Chiatello
advises against any comment about casino gambling.
The issue is very hot, and it is on the ballot in the
state. Also, a state income tax recently went into
effect, and the voters are very sensitive about taxes
in general and big government. He also says it is very
important to emphasize the President's consistency and
dependability.
