Villare has never met Lucas

GOP State Assembly candidates Robert Villare and Lee Lucas have never met or spoken, according to Brandon Glurk, Villare’s campaign coordinator.

“They are not currently, nor were they ever running together,” Glurk told PolitickerNJ.com.  “Unfortunately, the state GOP was too incompetent to elect one of their own.  Therefore, Lucas is on the Republican ticket with Chris Christie and Bob Villare, but that is not by choice.”

Gloucester County GOP Chairman Bill Fey and Assembly Majority Leader Alex DeCroce (R-Parsippany) have called on Lucas to drop out of the race following reports of racially insensitive remarks.  DeCroce has said he will not fund the Republican challengers in District 3, even though some GOP strategists had viewed the two Assembly seats as winnable.

Lucas has not been invited to a rally in Gloucester County on Monday featuring Christie and Republican National Chairman Michael Steele.

Location set for Gloucester Republican clash

Former Franklin Township municipal chairman Bill Fey, who’s taking on Gloucester County Republican Chairwoman Loran Oglesby at the party’s convention tomorrow night, said that Oglesby is doing everything she can to make it difficult for his faction to organize.  

Fey, who stepped down from his municipal chairmanship on Thursday, said Oglesby informed him of the time and place of the event Saturday afternoon -- giving him the requisite three days notice, but no more.  He said that questions sent to Oglesby by Washington Township Chairman Jeff Morris have not been answered.  

“We don’t even know the rules of this thing, who’s allowed in.  I have legal counsel that I demand be with me,” he said.  

The meeting is scheduled for the firehouse in Thorofare – an unincorporated community in West Deptford – at 7:30 tomorrow night. Read More >
