[4][5][6] Bill Spadea founded the Common Sense Club, a non-profit that aims to reduce the size of government and promote fiscal conservatism.
Spadea's leadership of the Common Sense Club has been criticized, as the organization contributed less than one percent of the money it raised to support candidates.
[clarification needed] He kept contact with the membership through a national newspaper titled the Broadside, which was delivered to tens of thousands of College Republicans across the country.
[12] Running a grassroots campaign[clarification needed] that included walking 200 miles to each of 44 towns in the district,[13] he polled over 40% of the vote on election day [14] and was ranked 17th out of 157 GOP challengers nationwide.
[17] In 2012, Spadea ran for the state legislature, running for the 16th District's Assembly seat that was vacant after the death of Assemblyman Peter J. Biondi.
[8] In June 2018, Spadea advocated for a state constitutional amendment to revoke the Mount Laurel doctrine, arguing the imposition of unnecessary housing development increased tax burdens unfairly.
In 2020 Spadea has commented on-air that people should stop wearing masks because, "they don't work and make you look stupid", which lead to some listeners to file complaints with the FCC.
