Christie announces more Bergen endorsements as NERO prepares for Saturday vote
By Wally Edge
The Northeastern Republican Organization (NERO) will meet on Saturday to endorse a candidate for Governor, a prequel to the Bergen County Republican Convention on March 19 and an important test of strength as former U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie and former Bogota Mayor Steven Lonegan face off in Lonegan's home county.
Today, Christie announced endorsements from thirty local officials and party leaders from six towns in the 39th district. He already has the backing of State Sen. Gerald Cardinale (R-Demarest), Assemblyman John Rooney (R-Northvale), and Assemblywoman Charlotte Vandervalk (R-Montvale).
