Lonegan slate wins in Gloucester

In Gloucester County, two Republican Freeholder candidates aligned with gubernatorial candidate Steven Lonegan defeated slates run by two factions preparing for next week’s County Chairman battle.  Matthew Burns (3,257) and Ronald Brittin (3,023) led Larry Wallace (2,593) and Phyllis Scapellato (2,477), who are part of the anti-organization slate, and Stephen Austin (2,461) and Gloucester County GOP Chair Loran Oglesby (2,293).  Despite the local success of his ticket, Lonegan lost Gloucester County to Christopher Christie.
