TRENTON — Four Republicans are in a primary battle today for the right to face Democratic U.S. Sen. Cory Booker. Whomever wins the GOP nod will have an uphill battle as none of the candidates has big name recognition or much cash against the popular…

As Tourists Flock to Shore, Need to Protect Endangered Nesting Birds Poses Dilemma

As Tourists Flock to Shore, Need to Protect Endangered Nesting Birds Poses Dilemma (via NJSpotlight)

You might call them birds of a feather flocking together. The Jersey Shore provides habitat for people, both year-round residents and summer visitors – and for ocean birds that rely on the beaches and dunes for nesting. Both people and birds had their…

Chairman Bennett Calls on Voters to Support Republicans on Primary Day

By John O. Bennett, Chairman, Monmouth County Republican Organization

John Benentt

Today is a great day to be a Republican! Once again, the opportunity to exercise one of our greatest Constitutional rights is upon us. Days like today reinforce the utmost pride I have to be your Monmouth County Republican Chairman.

It is my great honor to call upon all Republicans from western and central Monmouth County to the bayshore and coastal areas and ask them to support our candidates in today’s Primary Election. As always, we have a fantastic slate of Republican candidates, including our incumbent Freeholders Director Lillian Burry and Deputy Director Gary Rich and every municipal official who is up for election. I know that with a good showing today of voter turnout, we can send the  Democratic candidates a preview of what is waiting for them come November.

Please check the following list to see our Monmouth County Republican endorsed Candidates:

Rich Pezzullo for U.S. Senate
Chris Smith for Congress, 4th District
Anthony Wilkerson for Congress, 6th District
Lillian Burry & Gary Rich for County Freeholder

Don’t forget to vote for your local municipal offices!

So, before you head home tonight, please stop in at your local polling location and let your voice be heard. Cast your ballot for your local and county Republican candidates!

On to Victory

Another endorsement for Bennett

A group of Republican leaders from the Two Rivers (Navesink and Shrewsbury) area of Monmmouth County have released their endorsement for John O. Bennett to serve another two years as Chairman of the Monmouth County Republican Organization.

Rumson Mayor John Ekdahl, Oceanport Mayor Michael Mahon and the GOP Municipal Chairs of Eatontown, Little Silver, Red Bank, Shrewsbury Township and Tinton Falls issued a press release endorsing Bennett.  Mahon’s name is listed as the GOP Chairman of Oceanport, not as mayor of the borough where Bennett serves and Administrator.

We, as chosen Republican leaders in our respected (sic) towns, are supporting Chairman John Bennett for a second term as Monmouth County Republican Committee Chairman.

Our Party, over the past two years, has seen a resurgence of support and stability through the leadership of Chairman Bennett. Republican candidates from all levels of our government in the county have been able to capitalize on the benefits presented to them by his steadfast and dedicated work.

We believe that Chairman John Bennett and his proven track-record of success is exactly what our party needs to continue its growth. Whether it is raising funds or rallying support for our local municipal elections, Chairman Bennett has been nothing short of reliable in his support.
Now it is our turn to return the favor for the Chairman for all of the hard work he has done for us.
Please stand with us to re-elect John Bennett as Chairman of the Monmouth County Republican Party and continue the growth of our party.

Ekdahl is a pick up for Benentt. He was previously in Sheriff Shaun Golden’s corner for Chairman.

In GOP U.S. Senate Primary: Write-in Joe Kyrillos

By Art Gallagher

Several MMM readers have asked  me to endorse of a U.S. Senate candidate to take on Senator Cory Booker.  I can’t endorse, or vote for, any of the four candidates who are on the ballot this Tuesday.

I’m writing in Joe Kyrillos on Tuesday. If this post goes viral, Joe Kryillos could be the U.S. Senate Republican nominee on Tuesday night.  That’s how bad the U.S. Senate primary campaign has been.  Booker would then have a fight on his hands.  Share this post.

None of the four candidates on the ballot can make Booker break a sweat this fall.

None of the candidates on the ballot have raised enough money for a county freeholder race, never mind a statewide race for U.S. Senate.  Booker has spent over $12 million on his re-election bid since the first of the year. He had $2.9 million in cash on hand as of May 14.

State Senator Joe Kyrillos, the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in 2012, has refunded more money to his federal donors this year that any of the current Republican candidates have raised.
