BEIJING, CHINA \u2014 As Fox News makes national headlines. Exposed politicians<\/a> are suddenly scrambling to oppose Chinese ownership of U.S. farmland, New Jersey voters should be asking: where do our leaders stand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foreign ownership of American land<\/strong>\u2014particularly by hostile regimes like the Chinese Communist Party\u2014isn\u2019t just bad policy, it\u2019s a direct threat to our food security, national defense, and economic independence. Across the country, China has quietly purchased farmland near critical infrastructure, and only now\u2014after years of silence\u2014some politicians are pretending to wake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But New Jersey doesn\u2019t need another finger-in-the-wind career politician. We\u2019ve seen what that gets us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Jack Ciattarelli. Not only has he stayed silent on Chinese land purchases, but records show that he\u2019s personally profited from investments in Chinese state-tied companies.<\/strong> While he now tries to position himself as a champion of conservative values, the truth is, he\u2019s directly benefited from the very entities undermining American sovereignty. That\u2019s not just weak leadership\u2014that\u2019s hypocrisy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrast that with Bill Spadea.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spadea has been ahead of the curve, calling out foreign land ownership and demanding real protections for New Jersey\u2019s families, farmers, and future. He\u2019s been clear: our land belongs to the people of this state, not to billionaires from Beijing. No apologies. No compromises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference is leadership. One man is ready to take on foreign interests and stand up for New Jersey. The other only shows up when the cameras are rolling\u2014and quietly profits while doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While other candidates worry about political optics, Spadea is focused on protecting our state\u2019s sovereignty and securing our food supply from foreign manipulation. That\u2019s not politics\u2014it\u2019s patriotism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we head toward the 2025 primary election on June 10, voters have a clear choice: a fighter who\u2019s unafraid to take a stand against China\u2019s infiltration\u2014or a career politician whose record is defined by silence, self-interest, and hypocrisy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The land we farm shouldn\u2019t be sold to the enemies of our republic. And our votes shouldn\u2019t be given to the ones who let it happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
