The men and women who have worn the uniforms of the U.S. Military have helped build a strong, prosperous nation, and on this day, I want to say to them and their families, what is not said often enough: Thank You.

“Now that voters have given the Republicans Party two seats on the freeholder board, we will begin to get the documents we need to closely examine the excessive spending by county government that has been crippling county taxpayers,” said Yudin

Bergen County Republicans Rob Hermansen and John Driscoll won two freeholder seats with a micro-targeted, internet heavy ad campaign that focused on a positive message, according to Hermansen’s campaign manager.

Ramsey Republican activist Deirdre Woodbyrne, who ran Hermansen’s campaign but not Driscoll’s, said that her candidate smartly focused on things like a front page newspaper “popper,” Facebook ads and YouTube videos more than more traditional mediums like television, radio and mailers.

“Where Christie lost, we won. We didn’t have any money for TV ads. We didn’t have any money for radio ads.  We used the internet and we used the positive message,” she said.

Woodbyrne said the campaign got especially positive feedback from a YouTube ad they put up featuring footage of the all-Democratic Bergen County freeholder board unable to explain what a $100,000 project they were about to vote on entailed.  They voted for it anyway, drawing a rebuke at the meeting from Hermansen that was featured at the end of the video.

The District 38 Republican challengers are capitalizing on The Record's endorsement with thousands of robocalls.  

The paper's editorial said that the paper would have endorsed incumbents Joan Voss (D-Fort Lee) and Connie Wagner (D-Paramus) had they not sent out a negative mailer associating their opponents with "porn and guns."

Bergen County Republican Chairman Bob Yudin said that the two underdog Republicans – Ridgefield Councilman Nicholas Lonzisero and Fort Lee activist Judith Fisher – are capitalizing on the flyer's backlash.  

“Because of The Record endorsement in District 38, and because of the outrage at the two Democrats for charging the two Republican candidates with guns and porno, the campaign over the weekend is making tens of thousands of robocalls advising voters that The Record has endorsed two Republicans,” said Yudin.

Bergen County Republican Chairman Bob Yudin said he will not gloat about the three count corruption conviction of his former Democratic counterpart, Joe Ferriero.

“This is a sad day, and in no way am I happy about this because it shows that I was right since I started running for freeholder that everything was for sale in Bergen County to the highest bidder,” said Yudin, who ran for freeholder three times and faced some criticism for focusing too much on corruption as a campaign issue.

Ferriero, who took over the Democratic Party in 1998, transformed it from perennial minority status to the county's dominant party.  By the time of his indictment last year, Republicans were left holding only one county-wide office.  

Now, Republicans think they have a good shot at picking up two freeholder seats.

Bergen County Republican Chairman Bob Yudin said Republican gubernatorial nominee Chris Christie deserves credit for the guilty plea of Dennis Oury, the former Bergen County Democratic counsel and municipal attorney for several of the county’s towns.

Christie indicted Oury and Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joe Ferriero last year, when he was still U.S. Attorney.

“Chris Christie is still batting 1,000.  He hasn’t lost a case yet.  As far as Ferriero’s concerned, that’s up to the jury,” said Yudin.

Bergen County is a major battleground this year, and Christie dealt the Democratic Party there a serious blow when he indicted Oury and Ferriero.  Ferriero, chairman since 1998, was a prolific fundraiser who took the Democrats from being a perennial minority party to controlling all but one county-wide office.
