ASSELTA: VAN DREW STILL NOT TELLING THE TRUTH

(VINELAND, July 11) –- First District Senator Nick Asselta and his Republican Assembly running mates Norris Clark and Michael Donohue –- taking the lead in the First District in coordinating opposition to the fiscally hare-brained scheme of selling, leasing, or “monetizing” New Jersey’s toll roads -– last night asked the Vineland City Council to adopt a resolution of opposition to the plan.

This morning, the Republican trio followed up by sending a cover letter to each of the 21 other municipal governing bodies in the First District, along with a copy of the draft resolution of opposition.

Former presidential candidate Ross Perot address a group of veterans and scouts in Wildwood on May 18.  He will speak at a non-political "Love America" rally chaired by Norris Clark, who was his national campaign spokesman in 1996 and was Director of Business Development at Perot Systems.  Clark is the Republican candidate for State Assembly in the first district.

In the first district, Republicans will run Norris Clark and Michael Donohue for State Assembly.  Clark is a former national spokesman for Ross Perot's presidential campaign and the cousin of former Casino Reinvestment Development Authority Executive Director Curtis Bashaw. Clark and his wife live in Cape May County, where he is a prominent businessman and civic leader.  Donohue, an attorney, is the Dennis Township Republican Municipal Chairman and the husband of former Press of Atlantic City reporter Jeanie Dewey Donohue.  They will challenge freshman Democratic Assemblyman Nelson Albano and a yet-to-be-announced Assembly candidate who will seek JeffersonVan Drew's seat.  Van Drew is challenging Republican State Senator Nicholas Asselta.

Cape May County Freeholder Leonard Desiderio still remains a top choice among Republicans to run for the State Assembly in the first district next year, against Democratic incumbents Jefferson Van Drew and Nelson Albano. One prospective candidate receiving strong buzz for the second GOP nod is Norris Clark, a former national spokesman for Ross Perot's presidential campaign and the cousin of former Casino Reinvestment Development Authority Executive Director Curtis Bashaw. Clark and his wife live in Cape May County, where he is a prominent businessman and civic leader.

The GOP ticket will be headed by incumbent State Senator Nicholas Asselta of Cumberland County, which means Cape May Republicans are likely to name both Assembly candidates.
