Defeated GOP Lawmaker Won’t Coordinate Transition

Rep.-elect Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) told the Bergen County Record that Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ) “has not returned his calls or responded to a certified letter asking about a transition, especially to ensure constituent requests do not fall through the cracks.”

“While polarizing politics is all too common, Garrett’s apparent unwillingness to discuss a transition with his successor is not.”
