Your role in this fall's election

A "Wireside Chat" from Chairman Adam Puharic
Dear fellow Republican:
Oftentimes, we sit back and watch elections, frustrated and helpless. We read articles in the paper, hear accusations and innuendo, and we count the lawn signs of the other side. This year, I am respectfully requesting that you not sit back and be a passive observer. If you’d like to keep Monmouth County a Republican County, I am asking you to join in this fight.
I wanted to take a moment and offer some actions you could take to help Tom Kean become our next U.S. Senator. You can help Leigh Ann Bellew and Joe Sinagra take back our congressional seats from the Democrats. The power is in your hands to elect Rosemarie Peters, Andrew Lucas, and Freeholder Anna Little, so that Republicans can continue to make Monmouth County a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
Here’s how you can help:
1. Support the Finance Gala. On August 8th, we’ll host our 51st Annual Monmouth County Republican Finance Gala at the Navesink Country Club. Senator Tom Gagliano is doing an outstanding job as our Gala Chair. We’ve lowered the ticket price to $300 so that more of our grassroots volunteers can participate. Please be one of them.
2. Volunteer at the Monmouth County Fair. Starting on Wednesday, July 26, Republicans are asked to come out in force, promote our candidates, and show great spirit. I’m looking forward to seeing the new booth – I’ve seen the plans and they look great! Be sure to thank all of the good Republicans who dedicated time to building and decorating.
3. Support your municipal chair and local candidates. The best way to win up and down the ticket is to make sure all 53 municipalities have strong Republican leaders in government. Volunteer for your local campaign. Proudly display your lawn sign. Signs don’t vote, but property owners do. Every property owner should vote Republican. Please be supportive of all of our municipal chairs. They have thankless jobs. I remember as a municipal chair, everyone’s ideas were better than mine, but most people wouldn’t stick around to implement them. Offer your local chair a hand. I’m sure they would be grateful.
4. Walk your district. Have you ever approached a neighbor and asked them to vote Republican? Do it this year. Your taxes were raised by Democrats in Trenton. Their spending is increasing even more. Every day 115 people – mostly tax-hating Republican voters – leave New Jersey for opportunity and freedom in the south and west. This has to stop. It stops when we hold the line on spending, take back Trenton, and put accountable Republicans in Washington.
5. Call headquarters. When I was first elected, I asked for your time in volunteering at Republican headquarters. We are up and running now, and ready to accept your volunteer service. I am proud to announce that Heather Bachman has joined us as Administrative Manager. Heather is excited at this opportunity, and full of energy and dedication to our party. Join me in welcoming her to our team.
6. Special thanks to Joe Coletti, the Young Republicans, the Aberdeen Republicans, and all of the volunteers who made over 1,000 phone calls in support of our finance gala this week. We owe them a debt of gratitude for giving back to our party!
Once again thanks for giving me the opportunity to serve you. I hope to see you soon. This fight is yours.
