Edward R. Durr
To be claimed
Edward R. Durr's campaign website highlights the following issues:
| Pro-life | a) Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? |

| Yes | c) Should abortion be legal when the life of the woman is endangered? |
| Yes | d) Do you support the prohibition of public funds for organizations that perform abortions? |
| e) Other or expanded principles: | |
| As a Christian I personally am opposed to any kind of abortion. I am 100% against partial birth abortions. I however do believe that Pro-life & Pro-choice could agree on a compromise that would stop this. Make rape, incest and mothers health exceptions. Also no abortions after 8 weeks. That should be enough time to know. | |

| No | c) Should immigrants unlawfully present in the United States who graduate from New Jersey high schools be eligible for in-state tuition at public universities in New Jersey? |
| d) Other or expanded principles: | |
