In ward 5, District 1 where this ballot is taken from I am running against Mark Sacco along side Theresa Minutillo for Democratic Committee seats. One male and one female are elligible for each Ward and district combination and voters must be registered as a Democrat to cast their ballots.
This is my frist foray into politics from the elected office perspective. The Democratic committee seat is a minor role but it is important to elect members who will pledge to not use the committee to funnel money to local elections to get around ELEC regulations as was done in the past. Vote 17E for Theresa Minutillo and 18E for Kurt Gardiner for County Democrat Committee in Ward 5 and district 1. The Ward and District is shown below in the diagram in yellow with the checkmark which basically comprises 4 blocks. I will publish the complete list of all democratic committee candidates running later today.
The Republicans have a battle for Governor in their primary between flat tax proponent Steve Lonegan, Guilliani backed moderate Chris Christie, and Rick Merkt. All other positions are unopposed.
