| Collapse all
While in high school, Toby enlisted as a Private in the U.S. Army Reserves in military intelligence as a Russian Linguist. During college at Bucknell University, Toby joined ROTC and graduated as an Army officer before heading to Tulane Law School. After graduating from law school and completing artillery school, Toby went on to serve three tours in Iraq in various capacities, earning the Bronze Star for Service during his second tour. Toby was honorably discharged from the Army Reserves in 2020 at the rank of Major.
Toby and his wife Ornit started a small business in the field of home health care, creating jobs for health care workers, while serving their vulnerable neighbors. Through his business experience, Toby has seen firsthand how the anti-growth policies of Joe Biden and Mikie Sherrill have stifled opportunity – particularly as his industry, like most, struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst nursing labor crisis in recent memory.
- Empower Parents and Restore our Rights - Whether it be far-left education policies like Critical Race Theory that indoctrinate our children with divisive thinking, or overreaching mask and COVID child vaccine mandates that put family healthcare decisions in the hands of government – parents are increasingly being told to take a back seat. Government needs to leave parenting to parents – KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OUR KIDS.
- An Affordable New Jersey - Under the failed leadership of Joe Biden and Mikie Sherrill, from gas to groceries, inflation is skyrocketing. Our families’ budgets are stressed to the breaking point. Labor shortages and the rising cost of energy have disrupted our supply chain, making goods and services scarce and less affordable and leading to the highest inflation in 40 years. We need to incentivize work, reduce the cost of energy, and roll back oppressive regulations and taxes that stifle economic growth.
- Secure Our Southern Border - The situation at our southern border has devolved into a humanitarian crisis. The Biden administration’s open-border policies are sending the wrong message to those seeking legal immigration status, while separating families and making it easier for the trafficking of drugs and human beings. We need to secure our border – including resuming construction of the border wall, providing our border agents with needed personnel and resources, and holding accountable those who refuse to enforce our laws – NO SANCTUARY CITIES.
