Jack Ciattarelli shares a light moment with Ocean County GOP Chairman Frank Holman and Ocean County Commissioner Ginny Haines at the Bay Head Fire House last March 10.
Jack Ciatterelli won the unanimous gubernatorial endorsement of the Ocean County Republican screening committee today, according OCGOP Chairman Frank Holman.
President Donald Trump granted a full pardon to George Gilmore, former Ocean County Republican Chairman, shortly before midnight on Tuesday. The President issued 73 pardons and commuted 70 sentences in one of his final acts in office.
Let me explain how political endorsements usually work. Someone’s press secretary gets together with someone else’s press secretary and they come up with some very politically correct quotes that they put into a polished release and distribute out with a nice logo on it. This is definitely not that.
Republicans across the country, and especially in New Jersey are at a major crossroads. One section of the party calls everyone who hasn’t sworn an unwavering blood oath to our outgoing President a “RINO” and another section of the party wants to pretend that President Trump and his supporters never existed, nor the underlying reasons for why he was elected in the first place. It’s self-defeating insanity.
Joe Vicari, George Gilmore’s gubernatorial candidate
Ocean County Commissioner Joe Vicari announced that he is entering the race for the GOP nomination for New Jersey Governor and that he would not compete outside of Ocean County for party support, according to a report at NewJerseyGlobe.
Barbara Lanuto, Vice Chairwoman of the Ocean County Republican Organization, endorsed Jack Ciattarelli for the Republican nomination for Governor of New Jersey.
“Jack Ciattarelli is far and away our best choice to take on and defeat Phil Murphy in November, and I urge all Ocean County Republicans –and Republicans around our state–to get behind his candidacy,” said Lanuto who is also Deputy County Clerk and served as Acting Chairwoman of the Party following the resignation of George Gilmore in 2019.
Ocean County Republican Chairman Frank B. Holman has endorsed Jack Ciattarelli for Governor.
“Jack has demonstrated that he has what it takes to not only unite our Party, but to attract independents and Democrats to join our coalition and fix New Jersey,” said Chairman Holman. “Jack shares our values and understands our struggles; Phil Murphy does not.”
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld the federal convictions of former Ocean County Republican Chairman George Gilmore, according to an announcement by Rachael A. Honig , Attorney for the United States.
David Richter defeated Kate Gibbs, 68-60, at the Ocean County GOP nominating convention on Wednesday evening, securing a favorable ballot position in the Republican primary for the right to take on Congressman Andy Kim in the Ocean portion of the 3rd Congressional District.
Gibbs won the support of the Burlington GOP at a convention last December. The two will now face off in what could be an ugly primary campaign.
The Ocean County Republican nominating convention endorsed Hirsh Singh for the nomination to take on Senator Cory Booker in November.
Singh told MMM that his victory in Ocean would be like former VP Joe Biden’s victory in the South Carolina Democrat primary, and that he would now clear the field and secure the GOP nomination over Rik Mehta.
