Congressional Campaign
In 2012, Tenaglio challenged Andrews in the Democratic Primary in New Jersey's 1st Congressional District. Tenaglio said of his opponent, "Andrews hasn’t stood up for the Democratic agenda," including Andrews among Democrats who he feels failed to answer attacks from the political right. “They never once got up and said, ‘This is what we want to do, here’s how we’re going to do it.’" Andrews had voted with the majority of his party ninety-three percent of the time.
