One of the most powerful House Republicans Rodney Frelinghuysen (NJ), the new chair of the House Appropriations Committee got a constituent in trouble by writing a letter to her employer that called out her progressive activism.
The employee Saily Avelenda of West Caldwell, whos active in the progressive NJ 11th for Change group ended up resigning from her job as senior vice president and assistant general counsel at Lakeland Bank, according to a report from WNYC.
Frelinghuysens letter, sent on campaign letterhead to bank board member and Frelinghuysen donor Joseph ODowd, appears to be correspondence he sent to other contributors as well.
[L]ets be clear that there are organized forces both national and local who are already hard at work to put a stop to the agenda of limited government, economic growth and stronger national security, Frelinghuysens letter reads. As you may have seen in the front page of the New York Times, the Democrat political organizations, the DCCC run by Nancy Pelosi, has targeted my district for Democrat takeover. Democrats have chosen to targets districts like ours because we sit in prime media markets and their protesters are highly organized.
