Would you mind having a close look at the current state of the page – [1] as of writing – and pointing out where exactly factually incorrect information is there? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:38, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Starting with the money spent, I spent nearly 10k, not $2300 and Sweeney spent over 2.5 million, he was running TV commercials from September 1st, nuts if you think he did that on 300k.

I never made any comments about minorities or women. The stuff you wrote about Sawyer is wrong, she was jealous of my position from day one because they had originally asked her to run against Sweeney but said no. Her reason for running against me was personal. She also conspired with the democrats after the primary to ensure my defeat.

The extra stuff you wrote about governor race, I did not drop out because I did not have enough signatures, I did have enough in fact I had over 2700. I dropped out because I had not raised the money needed to be on the debate stage or get my message out.

The part you placed in with comments by Stan and Sean and Noah are all lies. Stan was not my political director. Sean had nothing to do with my campaign, in fact Sean was the failed campaign manger from my senate re-election run and did a lousy job. Noah had nothing to do with my campaign and was working for Jack so he was not involved. So when they posted that facebook post it was all lies and you should be better than add it to my page.

In the June 2023 Republican primary, Assemblywoman Beth Sawyer ran against Durr for the 3rd district seat in the Senate. Sawyer’s decision to run was rooted in growing jealousy over Durr’s sudden fame and accomplishment. She claimed his widely criticized comments targeting Muslims had ignited intense backlash within the New Jersey Republican Party and across the state’s political landscape.

Sawyer argued that Durr was unelectable in a general election and that his continued presence on the ballot would jeopardize Republican competitiveness in a key swing district. Despite Sawyer’s warnings, Durr won the Republican primary by a 65–35% margin, securing the 38 municipalities in the district. The deep-red character of this part of South Jersey likely played a significant role in the outcome, as Durr’s incendiary rhetoric resonated with a segment of the Republican base. His re-election campaign was endorsed by Arkansas U.S. Senator Tom Cotton.

Heading into the general election, Durr’s seat was considered one of the most competitive races in the state. He faced former Assemblyman John Burzichelli, a seasoned Democrat, in a bitter and high-profile campaign marked by mutual attacks. South Jersey Democrats mounted a coordinated effort, it is said they spent over 5 million dollars to reclaim the seat, and Durr ultimately lost in a landslide defeat to Burzichelli

On June 24, 2024, Durr announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of New Jersey. Durr withdrew from the race on March 25, 2025 after failing to gain the required amount of funding he needed to qualify for matching funds from the State and continue participating in debates.

After Durr withdrew from the race, Durr showed support Bill Spadea. Stating that Bill and he share more in common of beliefs but that he would ultimately support who ever won the primary.

These are the corrections that need to be made. I do not care what a newspaper or facebook or twitter feed says, I am the guy who was running and these are the facts. Everything else you have on there are lies and propaganda.

Thank you
