Freehold Township, NJ – Today, Michael McGuire, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, retired NYPD officer, current Naval Reservist, Army JAG selectee, husband, father, and Republican candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s 3rd District, proudly announced that Congressman Barry Goldwater Jr. has officially endorsed his campaign.
Congressman Barry Goldwater Jr., son of the legendary Senator Barry Goldwater and a lifelong champion of limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, and strong national defense, delivered a powerful and unequivocal endorsement:
Michael McGuire For Congress
“I am proud to endorse Michael McGuire for Congress in New Jersey’s Third Congressional District.
Michael represents the very best of the citizen-servant tradition that has defined our nation for generations. As a Marine Corps veteran, a Retired NYPD officer who answered the call on September 11th, a current United States Navy Reservist, and now an Army JAG selectee at 47 years old, his life has been a continuous commitment to service over self.
At a time when our country needs strong constitutional conservatives in Washington, Michael understands that public office is not about power; it is about duty. He has worn the uniform, defended our streets, and continues to serve today. He knows firsthand what it means to protect our freedoms, and he will bring that same mission-first mindset to Congress.
The conservative movement has always been rooted in limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, and a strong national defense. Michael McGuire embodies those principles, and he has the integrity, experience, and work ethic to fight for them.
New Jersey needs a battle-tested leader who can win, who can communicate our message, and who has the courage to stand firm in the face of the challenges ahead. Michael is that leader.
I give him my full and enthusiastic support.”
– Congressman Barry Goldwater Jr.
“This endorsement from Congressman Barry Goldwater Jr. is one of the highest honors of my life,” said Michael McGuire. “Barry Goldwater Jr. carries forward the legacy of principled conservatism that shaped the modern Republican Party. His enthusiastic support confirms that I am the fighter New Jersey needs: someone who will slash wasteful spending, lower taxes, restore law and order, and fix the VA for our veterans.”
“I am a battle-tested veteran who has answered the call time and again: on the battlefield, on the streets after 9/11, and now in the fight to save our country. With Congressman Goldwater Jr.’s endorsement, we are building an unstoppable movement to flip NJ-03 red in 2026 and deliver real conservative leadership for Burlington, Mercer, and Monmouth counties.”
This powerful endorsement underscores McGuire’s surge in the Republican primary as the clear choice for voters who want a proven servant-leader, not another insider. Guided by Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful, Michael McGuire will bring honor, courage, and unwavering commitment to Congress.

About Michael McGuire
I am running for Congress to put people first over politics and service over self-interest. New Jersey needs a fighter, whether it is safeguarding the middle class by reducing the cost of living, enhancing public safety so people feel safe in their homes, or holding government accountable. The people of New Jersey need a voice – a voice that speaks for them.
I have had the privilege of wearing the uniform and serving our great nation twice in my career as a United States Marine, and again in the Naval Reserve. The motto of the Marine Corps is Semper Fidelis – Always Faithful. This motto has served me well in life. Showing up for duty, doing what is right, and serving my community and country.
For too long, politicians have gone to Washington only to have grown rich and lined their own pockets. I am not a politician. I am a husband, father, and veteran. I 100% support banning stock trading by members of Congress and believe we need term limits to restore accountability.
