PRESS RELEASE: Ambrosino Wishes Assemblywoman Pam Lampitt And Other South Jersey Women “Leaders” A Happy Anniversary

Camden County Republican Chairman continued to keep the pressure on Camden Democrats with regard to the Arthur Barclay situation issuing another press release today:

HADDON HEIGHTS – Exactly one year ago several Camden County Republican candidates called out Assemblywoman Pam Lampitt and other “South Jersey women leaders” for their silence on the issue of former Assemblyman Arthur Barclay’s arrest. At the time, Camden County Republicans suggested the reason for the silence was, “They were waiting to be told what to say by their political bosses.”

Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino said, “Here we are, one year later and former Assemblyman Arthur Barclay still has a county job and Assemblywomen Pam Lampitt and Pat Egan Jones and Freeholders Carmen Rodriguez and Susan Shin-Angulo are still silent about one of their own beating his girlfriend and still having a county job. Perhaps we were right a year ago and they are waiting to be told what to say.”

“Three of these self-proclaimed ‘leaders’ are on the ballot.” Ambrosino explained, “Lampitt and Rodriguez are both running for re-election and Shin-Angulo is running for mayor in Cherry Hill. Frankly, in the era of #MeToo I don’t believe you get to call yourself a leader and remain silent on the issue of a confessed girlfriend beater still holding a county job.”

“In this case silence is not golden, but it does take discipline to do absolutely nothing for an entire year.” Ambrosino said, “I wish Assemblywoman Lampitt and her fellow self-proclaimed ‘leaders’ a very happy first anniversary of silence. It takes special people to remain silent and ignore the fact that a man who admitted to punching his girlfriend has been protected by your own political party for an entire year.”

PRESS RELEASE: Republican Leadership Team in Galloway Township Endorses David Richter for Congress

Republican candidate for Congress in CD2, David Richter, was endorsed by Galloway Township officials today. His campaign’s press release follows:

GALLOWAY, NJ – David Richter, the Republican candidate seeking to represent New Jersey’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, announced today that he has received the endorsements of Galloway Township Mayor Tony Coppola, Deputy Mayor Rich Clute and Councilman Tony DiPietro.

Galloway Township, located in Atlantic County, has approximately 37,000 residents.  It is the fourth largest municipality in the Second District which includes all of Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Salem counties, as well as parts of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Ocean counties.  The township is home to the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical Center, Galloway National Golf Club, Historic Smithville and Village Greene, the Renault Winery and Stockton University.

Mayor Tony Coppola said, “David spent his career in the private sector growing a business, creating jobs and helping to expand our economy, unlike career politician Jeff Van Drew.  He has established himself as one of the rising leaders of the Republican Party in South Jersey and I look forward to working with David as our next Congressman.”

Deputy Mayor Rich Clute added, “As someone who worked in the construction industry for more than 20 years, David knows what it takes to build public works and infrastructure and his leadership in Congress will be critical to helping bring federal dollars to South Jersey so we can invest in our infrastructure and create jobs for our citizens.”

Councilman Tony DiPietro said, “I have no doubt that in Congress David will work to lower our national debt, cut our taxes, and fight for our veterans and seniors.  He is the best candidate in this race to defeat Jeff Van Drew and I am honored to be joining my fellow Republican leaders in Galloway today to endorse David’s campaign.”

“Jeff Van Drew has completely failed South Jersey voters. He spent over a decade supporting the Democratic majority in the state legislature and making New Jersey one of the highest-taxed and most anti-business states in the country,” said Richter. “Now, after running as a conservative Democrat, Van Drew has voted in Washington with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nearly 90% of the time. We need a real conservative in Congress who will work hard for smaller government, lower taxes and secure borders, and who will fight to protect, not undermine, our constitutional rights,” added Richter.

PRESS RELEASE: Former Cumberland County YR Chairman Endorses Fitzherbert

CD2 Congressional candidate Brian Fitzherbert released another endorsement today. His press release follows:

Egg Harbor Township –Brian T. Fitzherbert, who is seeking the Republican nomination in New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District, announced the endorsement of former Cumberland County Young Republican Chairman, Will Gruccio.

“It is my pleasure to endorse Brian Fitzherbert in the upcoming 2nd District Republican primary. He is a loyal friend to our community and has worked with us side-by-side in Cumberland County to help build the Republican Party and promote our conservative values. Brian has been consistently present and engaged, listening to the needs of our committee members. He is committed to serving South Jersey and has displayed his leadership capabilities by advancing our party, particularly by enhancing the base of Young Republicans throughout South Jersey,” said Gruccio.

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of Chairman Gruccio. Will is a Republican leader in South Jersey and I am proud to call him my friend. Cumberland County needs a Representative who will fight for the residents of the 2nd District and not a politician that supports the interests of his liberal friends on Capitol Hill,” Fitzherbert said.
