In his bid for a seat in the 25th Legislative District, Morris County Freeholder Doug Cabana today announced the support of 13 of the district’s 15 Republican mayors. 

They are: Cyril Wekilsky of Boonton; Thomas Donadio of Boonton Twp.; P. Ted Hussa of Denville Twp.; Russell Felter of Jefferson Twp.; Frank Cioppettini of Mendham Twp.; Richard Leary of Mine Hill Twp.; Arthur Ondish of Mt. Arlington; Stephen Shaw of Mountain Lakes; Kathyann Snyder of Rockaway Borough; Louis Sceusi of Rockaway Twp.; Kathy DeFllippo of Roxbury Twp.; Betty Simmons of Victory Gardens; and William Chegwidden of Wharton. 

“I am humbled to have the support of these community leaders, with whom I’ve worked to help provide good government for the citizens of Morris County,” said Cabana, who is running in a field of four candidates in pursuit of two seats, including one left vacant by retiring Assemblyman Richard Merkt (R-Mendham), a Republican candidate for governor. 

Referring to the mayors, “These local officials are on the front line dealing with the tough issues affecting their towns every day; making the tough decisions,” added Cabana, a former Boonton Township mayor who’s served as freeholder since 1997. “For them to support my candidacy for the Assembly is truly an honor.” 

Cabana is competing with incumbent Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll (R-Morris Twp), municipal attorney Tony Bucco, and Randolph Committeeman Gary Algeier.
