Bob Healy Jr., son of the late Viking Yacht Company Co-Founder Robert Healy, will be running for Congress in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District. Healy Jr., a boating industry veteran and Executive Co-Chairman at Viking Group, plans to advocate for fisheries and natural resource conservation, as well as fiscal policies that will benefit the marine industry nationwide.

Healy Jr. has earned the MRAA’s support throughout his campaign, because he will elevate the boating industry’s priorities on Capitol Hill and both build and leverage relationships with decision makers. With a diverse business and personal background, he is well rounded and capable of representing the interests of the boating industry in Congress. Currently, serving as the Executive Co-Chairman of the Viking Group, Bob and his company employ over a thousand South Jersey residents and have made a positive impact on literally tens of thousands of local families for a generation – providing them the opportunity to work hard and provide a solid middle-class life for their families. This industry-specific experience and background means Healy Jr. can knowledgeably advocate for MRAA members and others in the marine industry from Capitol Hill.

Healy for Congress is hosting a cocktail reception from 5-7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 15, at the Miami Boat Show to generate campaign donations and to raise awareness of his congressional priorities.
