The organization line went to Melfi, who has the backing of retiring Clerk Dorothy Tirpok, GOP County Chairman Henry Kuhl, Surrogate Susan Hoffman and Freeholder George Muller. Palladino is giving up her Freeholder seat to run.

Tirpok to retire after 25 years

Dorothy Tirpok, the Hunterdon County Clerk since 1981, has announced that he will not run for re-election to a fifth term in 2006. Tirpok's successor is likely to be picked in the Republican primary; Freeholder Director Nancy Palladino is considered a leading candidate, along with former Freeholder Frank Fuzo, and Bloomsbury Mayor Mark Peck.
