In a written statement released Wednesday, Strada said “This is obviously fabricated and a deliberate falsification intended for no other purpose but to slander and defame my good character. There are law against this type of despicable behavior, even when invoked in political campaigns, and I have referred the matter to my attorney. This gutter-level political attack goes beyond anything we have ever witnessed in Sussex County and demonstrates why this individual is unsuitable to hold any public office, anywhere.”
