Political Career
Apart from being a truck driver, Durr has also run for the election of the New Jersey General Assembly in the year 2017 and 2019 but was unsuccessful.

On the day of his massive win, he said, “It didn’t happen because of me. I’m nobody. Absolutely nobody. I’m just a simple guy. It was the people. It was a repudiation of the policies that have been forced down their throats”
Durr has always been in controversy for his tweets, social media posts, and certain remarks. He apologized by saying, “I’m a passionate guy and I sometimes say things in the heat of the moment. If I said things in the past that hurt anybody’s feelings, I sincerely apologize”.
Some of his remarks like “Islam is a false religion” and “Mohammed is a paedophile” have created a lot of religious and political upheaval.
Calling himself a constitutional conservative, Durr has advocated for cutting income taxes, corporate taxes, and other state taxes. He has also made efforts to reduce property taxes.
As a supporter of Fetal Heartbeat legislation, he said, “abortion is wrong and should be stopped”.
