Claim: In New Jersey's 3rd congressional district, Republican candidate Jon Runyan made an early attack on Democratic incumbent John Adler in a campaign flier he released June 1. The flier exaggerates when it says Adler "created" the state's estate tax, and makes true, but misleading, claims about the congressman's votes on taxpayer funding for needle exchange programs and the repeal of the state's death penalty. The flier also provides no specific citations to backup any of its statements.
