Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Gary Cobb is seeking the vacated Congressional seat long held by Rob Andrews in the staunchly Democrat 1st District of New Jersey.
He’s running as a Republican. Cobb, like many, started off as a D went to the GOP after watching how the policies of the Democrat Party destroyed African American families.
“(They were) an incentive for the man to leave the home, and it’s destroyed African-American families throughout the country,” he said.
“All my brothers and sisters have gone to college,” Cobb said. “The reason we were able to have some success was our dad was there, there was some discipline in the home.”
