The Viking Yacht Company is excited to announce that Robert Healey Jr. is running for U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey's 3rd Congressional District. Bob is the Executive Co-Chairman of the Viking Group, which manages Viking Yachts, Viking Investments, Viking Associates, Viking Residential and Viking Developers.

"As someone who employs over 1,000 South Jersey residents, I am in touch with the challenges people are facing," says Bob, a resident of Moorestown in Burlington County. "This country is headed in the wrong direction, and I intend to do something about it - for my country and the state of New Jersey, for my employees, for my family, and most importantly for the future of my 5-month-old daughter."

Aside from his corporate responsibilities, Robert Healey Jr.'s extensive philanthropic activities include Board positions on the Healey Education Foundation and the Gleneayre Equestrian Program. Bob is also the Co-Founder and President of the Healey International Relief Foundation, which was established to improve the quality of life of individuals and families in the war-torn country of Sierra Leone in West Africa.

"The Healey family has a long history of working for the best interests of our boatbuilders and the marine industry in New Jersey, going back to my father and uncle's efforts that resulted in the repeal of the Luxury Tax," adds Viking Yachts President and CEO Pat Healey. "We're fighters, and my cousin Bob has continued the tradition of political action with the Viking Group. Now he's ready to take his commitment to the next level. We applaud and support his efforts. He has incredible insight and knowledge about the issues that most affect the businesses and hard-working people of New Jersey."
