Congressman Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., has received the support of two recreational fishing advocacy groups, the Recreational Fishing Alliance and the Save the Summer Flounder Fishery Fund, in his bid for re-election.
It makes sense. He has always supported the recreational angler.
Upon receiving the RFA endorsement, Congressman Pallone said, "I'm grateful to have the RFA's endorsement and proud of the work that we have accomplished on behalf of fishermen. The issues that are important to fishermen are important for the sixth district and I will continue to advocate on their behalf. Continuing to fight for sound science in the fisheries management process, ensuring fishermen have fair access to their most valuable public resource — fish — all continue to be my priorities in Congress."
"Frank Pallone is always looking out for fishermen and is in constant contact with anglers, party and charter boat captains when there is an issue of concern," said Jim Donofrio, executive director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance. RFA advocates to safeguard the rights and interests of recreational fishermen.
