Two county chairs join Estabrook exploratory committee
By Matt FriedmanTwo more county chairmen have thrown their support behind potential U.S. Senate candidate Anne Evans Estabrook.
Newly elected Bergen County Republican Chairman Rob Ortiz and Warren County Chairman Doug Steinhardt announced today that they’re joining Estabrook’s exploratory committee. Estabrook already has the support of the Republican Party chairs from Camden, Gloucester Hunterdon, Monmouth, Salem and Union Counties.
Assemblyman/state Senate candidate Joe Pennacchio has also formed a U.S. Senate exploratory committee. Assemblyman Jon Bramnick is mulling a bid as well but has not yet formed an exploratory committee.

Yea, Dougie is a real catch!

How about getting down to the task at hand, getting your county slates elected first ?
ORTIZ RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE
New Bergen County Chair proved right out of the gate what direction he is going to lead the Bergen County Republicans in: LEFT
Another RINO establishment shill who is supporting the pro-abortion, pro-choice, zero political experience Anne Estabrook.
What makes her attractive to these GOP Country Chairs? Cha-Ching - Cha-Ching!!!!
if a tree falls in the forest...
I agree with THE Ft Lee Republican. Ortiz should worry about making a dent in this year's election as opposed to lining up behind a Senate candidate that isn't going to win.
These Republican arent going left!!!
The three freeholder candidates are conservative and right as well as right. The sheriff candidate is a diehard conservative who has pledged to deputize his officers with immigration enforcement authority if elected. These guys aren't going to be led to the left. They are espousing true Republican principles. The supremacy of the constitution, the right to own property free of encroachment and the virtues of limited government. Our entire campaign is self financed. We don't care who does or does not support us. We will not alter our message.
DONT REELECT, DISINFECT, CUT TAXES NOW VOTE LINE 2
