A Failure of Common Sense

As Bill Spadea launches yet another campaign for public office, let’s look back at Spadea’s phony, failed “Common Sense” projects.

Spadea launched the Common Sense Club to “save our state from left wing lunacy” – but the truth is Spadea spent less on supporting conservative candidates and more on paying himself a salary – and using the “Common Sense” Club to advance his campaign for Governor. Is that who we want leading our party?

PHONY FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Spadea’s Common Sense network – established to bring “campaign support directly to the candidates” – has been an abject failure. Quarter after quarter, reports show Spadea contributes “a tiny percentage of its earning to actual candidates and campaigns.”

So where did the money go? Spadea paid himself a 65,000 salary, taking up 25% of what was raised by the Common Sense Club in 2022. No wonder the Common Sense efforts have been an…

AN ELECTORAL FAILURE

If there’s one thing Bill Spadea knows, it’s how to lose. Forget his two failed campaigns – which he lost by landslides. His track record in picking candidates is abysmal. Just this primary, Spadea endorsed controversial Mayor Dominick Cuozzo – who got clobbered, losing almost 2:1.

Last fall, Spadea’s candidates only won 40% of the time – no thanks to Spadea’s lack of financial support.

In the 2023 primary, Spadea backed four candidates – and three of them lost. And who could forget 2022, where every candidate Spadea spotlighted for Congress in NJ went on to lose. 

This much is clear:

Bill Spadea is a phony. Over the last few years, Spadea has consistently attacked President Trump.

Spadea’s a failure - raising money to support conservative candidates, but using it to promote himself.

And Spadea’s a loser - he’s lost the overwhelming majority of campaigns that he’s been involved in.

With a record like his, Bill Spadea is doomed to fail – again. We can’t trust Bill Spadea to fight for us.
