On Friday morning, a neighbor walking past the house discovered a swastika painted on the sidewalk. The swastika could not be removed with soap and water, Jacob said, so the neighbor had to go to a store and buy chemicals to erase the image.

Township police told Jacob, who has never before run for public office, that patrols will be stepped up in the area and officers would keep an eye on the house. Police are asking anyone who has information about the incidents to call the department at 908-851-5000.

Jacob said he realizes that damaging lawn signs is part of politics, but painting swastikas is a "whole new thing."​

Jacob is battling four-term GOP incumbent Leonard Lance to represent the 7th District, which stretches across New Jersey's "wealth belt" from Union to Phillipsburg.
