Matt Friedman, a reporter with Politico New Jersey, reached Witte a couple of weeks ago, and asked what he would do if he was elected. “Just stuff like parks and stuff like that, how kids don’t really have anywhere to go or anything like that. ... I don’t know, I didn’t really think it was going to be taken as seriously as it’s being taken," he said. Witte also did not know his running mate’s name.
