FRIDAY FEBRUARY 8, 2008
Deadline Extended for Candidate Letters of Intent
Dear fellow Republicans:
It is with great personal regret that I announce Freeholder
William C. Barham's decision not to seek re-election in 2008.
Freeholder Barham inherited a role within a county wracked by
scandal in the days preceding the federal investigations known
as Operation Bid Rig.
Throughout all of the pain,
recriminations, accusations, and distrust that resulted during
this breakdown of our county government, Bill Barham never,
ever lost his sunny optimism that Monmouth County is indeed
the greatest place in New Jersey to live and work.
When the Republican Party
fractured and splintered into competing interest groups
following Chairman Neimann's decision not to seek re-election
in 2006, Bill Barham encouraged all to stick together -- one
Republican Party -- not a series of special interests.
Throughout my two years as
Chairman, Bill Barham has proved supportive, encouraging, and
optimistic that Republicans would persevere because we are the
right party for Monmouth County. His faith in our party never
wavered. And beyond partisan politics, Bill Barham loves
Monmouth County, and sacrificed much to keep it moving
forward.
I respectfully request that all
Republicans take the opportunity to seek out Freeholder
Barham, and say thank you for his service.
In light of this news, the
deadline for submission of letters of intent for candidates
seeking the Monmouth County Republican endorsement for all
offices is extended to 5pm, Thursday, February 21.
