Rep. Jeff Van Drew: I Left Democratic Party Because They Told Me “You Have To Vote For Impeachment”

“The final sign for me was, oddly enough, when one of the county chairmen said ‘you have to vote for impeachment,'” Van Drew said. “And that ‘If you don’t, you won’t be able to run in my county.’ It’s not his county, it’s everybody’s county.”

“It made me think for all the years that I’ve worked so hard and tried to give so much not only to the party but to everybody… it all boils down to that I may have my own individual opinion on one vote and that’s not going to be allowed, and I’m going to be punished for that, and that’s when I knew,” he explained.

“There has always been something in my career that let me know it’s time for a change,” Van Drew said. “I feel good…I feel I did the honorable thing.”
