It’s official. I, and Tom Burke have been endorsed by the Belmar Republican Club as it’s preferred candidates to fill the two Republican slots in the coming election. There will of course be a primary in June, and I welcome anyone interested in the job to go for it, but the way it looks right now it’s going to be Tom and I battling the Democrats this fall.
I’ve run as a protest candidate in the past, both as an independent for council and a Libertarian for state assembly and both times it was great fun, but if I’m really going to change anything I have to get elected. And if there were ever a place and a time where the principles of open and limited government were so badly needed it’s here in Belmar and it’s right now.
So I want to thank the Republican Club for giving me this opportunity and trusting me to carry their mantle, and I’m looking forward to working with Tom and having a fair, fun and spirited contest with the Democrats.

BTW, everyone is invited to attend the candidates’ meet and greet Thursday evening from 5 to 8 at Connolly Station. Bring your questions and your appetites.
