“Our communities appreciate the bipartisan cooperation between state and federal governments that is helping us recover from Super Storm Sandy,” Angelini said. “Governor Christie and President Obama have not allowed partisan politics to stand in the way of doing what’s right for people who need help. We recognize his support of rebuilding our shore stronger than ever.”

Angelini and Casagrande, both R-Monmouth, met with the President before he addressed a crowd on the boardwalk inAsbury Park.

 “The President’s visit underscores the relentless work Governor Christie has been doing to let the world know that theJersey Shore is back and open for business,” Casagrande said. “Although we still have a long way to go, and many homes and businesses to rebuild, it’s heartening to see so many shore businesses were open for Memorial Day.”
