Former Bergen County Republican Chairman Rob Ortiz has landed as the Republican State Committee’s new finance chairman.
Ortiz, who was ousted two weeks ago as the Republican chairman in Bergen County, wrote an email to his friends and supporters announcing the news, and said that he would make Bergen County one of his fundraising priorities.
“As the largest county with the largest number of registered Republicans in the state, Bergen is crucial not only to reinvigorating the GOP from the grassroots up and identifying future candidates, but is also a crucial must-win county in any statewide campaign effort,” he wrote. “As such, Bergen will remain a key concern for me — as it should for every Republican around the state.”
Ortiz made the $200,000 he raised for the Bergen Republicans the cornerstone of his reelection campaign for the position.
"I look forward to using my experience at the federal and county levels to renew and revitalize NJGOP’s fundraising efforts,” he said.
