Ian Smith, the co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, said on a website promoting his campaign that he’s “truly excited to have the possibility to serve the people of [New Jersey] with a platform focused on liberty, small government, and America First policies.” Smith will be running in the state’s 3rd Congressional District and challenge two-term Rep. Andy Kim, a Democrat. The 3rd District combines much of Burlington County and portions of the Jersey Shore region in Ocean County. He formally declared his candidacy in Delran on Thursday—pledging to fight a number of government-imposed CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus mandates as a congressman and also limit illegal immigration and government spending.
