HUMANE SOCIETY ENDORSES FRANK LoBIONDO FOR CONGRESS

Cited Leadership & Support of Animal Protection Policies in Endorsement

 

Millville, NJ- The Humane Society Legislative Fund, the political arm of the Humane Society of the United States, has endorsed Frank LoBiondo for another term in office.

 

“It is an honor to be endorsed by the Humane Society, whose vocal support on animal protection issues has led to several recent successes in Congress,” said Frank LoBiondo. “I appreciate the continued friendship of the Humane Society, local chapters and animal lovers across South Jersey and remain committed to promoting policies that protect those members of our families and our communities that cannot protect themselves.”

“In order to have humane laws, we need to elect humane lawmakers,” said Michael Markarian, president of the Humane Society Legislative Fund. “We urge voters to elect Frank LoBiondo, who supports the humane treatment of animals.” Earlier this year, the Humane Society of the United States released its annual Humane Scorecard in which Congressman LoBiondo earned a perfect 100 percent. The Humane Society Legislative Fund is a non-partisan organization that evaluates candidates based only on a single criterion: where they stand on animal welfare.

LoBiondo has long been involved in animal welfare issues, volunteering his time at the Cumberland County SPCA prior to his election to Congress. He and his wife Tina are the proud owners of two rescued Weimaraners, Lola and Luca.

“We enthusiastically support Frank for Congress and know he’ll continue to protect our interests in Washington…right after he takes us to Parvin State Park or for a walk on the beach,” barked Lola and Luca.
