I Would Rather Be Respected Than Elected.

Conscious Of Our Many Problems, I Seek Today To Lay A Foundation To Our Public Policy. My Fundamental Purpose Is To Devote My Term Of Office To Raising The Standard Of Public Service In New Jersey.

In View Of Our Public Pledges, We Public Officials Can Never Again Go Before The Public Merely Promising Election Reform. The Time For Promises Is Past.

I Would Rather Be Respected Than Elected.

Our Democracy Poses Problems And These Problems Must And Shall Be Solved By Courageous Leadership.

It Is My Happy Privilege To Be Able To Stand Here And Tell You That If You Elect Me You Will Have Elected A Governor Who Has Made No Promises Of Preferment To Any Man Or Group.
