When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

In 2012, Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli voted against same-sex marriage.
On October 21, 2013, 12 years ago today, gay marriage was legally recognized by the courts.
Just a few days ago, Jack's campaign publicly stated its desire to ban same-sex marriage again.
Not on my watch.

Jack has been running on cutting healthcare & pensions since the very first day he started trying to be governor nearly 10 years ago. As a career politician, he's said a lot of things to a lot of people, but if there's one thing he's been consistent on, it's his relentless attacks on working people.
