Cedar Grove, NJ (PRWEB) October 22, 2013 -- Current New Jersey state Senator Kevin O’Toole has released a new and innovative campaign video – directed by Ollie, his family’s dog.

“It has been my honor and privilege to serve as a state Senator,” said Mr. O’Toole. “The reforms we have undertaken over the past 4 years under the leadership of Governor Christie has allowed for New Jersey to get back on the right track of lower taxes and creating jobs. There is still more work to be done and I look forward to continuing that over the next 4 years.”

Mr. O’Toole is currently running for reelection to his New Jersey State Senate seat, District 40, which consists of parts of Bergen, Essex, Morris and Passaic counties.
