In the general election, the two largest newspapers in New Jersey both endorsed Cho. The Star-Ledger called Garrett "a retrograde culture warrior who wants to eliminate a woman's right to choose" and criticized his support for the 2013 budget sequester, which hurt New Jersey; by contrast, Cho is "a centrist who actually wants to govern."Roy Cho for Congress in the fifth district: Editorial The Star-Ledger October 26, 2014 http://www.nj.com/opinion/index.ssf/2014/10/roy_cho_for_congress_in_the_fifth_district_editorial.html 2014-10-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20141027195304/http://www.nj.com/opinion/index.ssf/2014/10/roy_cho_for_congress_in_the_fifth_district_editorial.html 27 October 2014 The Bergen Record criticized Garrett as "a dogmatic conservative who believes ideology trumps compromise" and agreed with Cho's call for a federal role in improving the region's transportation infrastructure.The Record: Cho in the 5th District The Bergen Record October 26, 2014 http://www.northjersey.com/opinion/opinion-editorials/cho-in-the-5th-1.1118228#sthash.QID3Fo9p.dpuf 2014-10-27
