8 priorities from votedamongaldo.com, in the order they are listed there. Every heading and the text under it is copied exactly, as one passage for each page it is from, and links to that place on the page; hover a source to see which passage it opens.
The First Amendment is one of the greatest protections guaranteed by our Constitution and one of the cornerstones of our Constitutional Republic. Every American has the right to speak freely, ask questions, and express different opinions without fear of government censorship or political intimidation.
Many New Jersey residents have grown concerned about government agencies working with technology companies and media organizations to influence what Americans can see, hear, and say. Free speech should never depend on political beliefs or government approval. The answer to ideas we disagree with is more open discussion, not censorship.
I will defend the First Amendment, oppose government censorship, protect the free exchange of ideas, and support greater transparency whenever government agencies interact with media or technology companies. Our Constitutional Republic depends on an informed public and the freedom to speak without fear.

Government exists to serve the people, not the politicians. Every tax dollar collected from hardworking New Jersey families should be spent responsibly, transparently, and with accountability to the public.
Too many career politicians have become more focused on protecting their positions than solving the problems facing the people they represent. Wasteful spending, unnecessary bureaucracy, and special interest influence have weakened public confidence in government and contributed to rising debt that future generations will be forced to repay.
I will support stronger oversight of federal spending, eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse wherever it exists, increase transparency throughout government, and fight for balanced, responsible budgeting. Public office is a public trust, and taxpayers deserve leaders who respect every dollar they earn.

Stop the Fentanyl Threat ↗ (opens votedamongaldo.com/the-cost-immigration at this heading)
Today, the border is finally being secured, but the damage is already done. Under Joe Biden’s open border agenda, fentanyl flooded into our country in record amounts, devastating families across South Jersey. Donald Norcross stood with Biden and supported that agenda every step of the way.
The result was predictable. More addiction, more overdoses, and billions in taxpayer dollars spent managing the crisis instead of preventing it.
And in Camden, the same political machine is tied to institutions receiving public funds to deal with the fallout, including Cooper University Health Care, where Norcross’s brother serves as board chairman.

Official FEC filing record for the current cycle. The priorities they publish are quoted from their own site, in their order.
Statements are quoted from these pages exactly. Headings, order and wording are the campaign’s; the record marking is ours.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 22 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $7K.
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Oct 14, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
Total reported receipts $16,220
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 4 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

Gifts of $200 or less ($8,508) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
