May 18th: Save Jersey Visits Jersey Shore for New Jersey Young Republican Convention

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

Point Pleasant Beach

If there’s one thing that I love more than discussing social media and Jersey politics, Save Jerseyans, it’s discussing those topics at the Jersey Shore in May. Life is always a little bit better with an ocean breeze, isn’t it?

Good news! We’ll be doing just that on Saturday, May 18th at the New Jersey Young Republican Federation Bi-Annual convention in the beautiful Ocean County community of Point Pleasant Beach.

The weekend-long event at the White Sands Oceanfront Resort promises to be one heck of a time. Mark your calendars now…

There was little talk of bi-partisanship in Colts Neck yesterday morning at the Monmouth Republican Nominating Convention. The Republican nominee for Governor showed up at the Monmouth County Republican Nominating Convention.

Governor Chris Christie brought the crowd of some 400 county committee members and guests to their feet several times as he declared that it is he, and the Republicans who have stood with him “along with some right thinking Democrats,” who have turned Trenton upside down since he was elected in 2009.

Christie acknowledged the impact that the Monmouth GOP had in his 2009 victory over Jon Corzine.  “When most people didn’t know me, you gave me a chance. When nobody thought I could win, you did,” Christie told the crowd as he thanked Monmouth for the 64,000 vote pluarity he won in the county in ’09 general election and the first GOP county endorsement he received in the ’09 primary.   He specifically thanked former Monmouth Republican Chairman Joe Oxley who is now out of politics after being sworn in as a Superior Court Judge on Friday.  “I will miss Joe’s political partnership,” said the governor, “but I know New Jersey will be well served by Joe in his new position, which I had something to do with him getting.”

Middlesex County GOP Christie Speech

The Middlesex County Republican organization had their 2013 Convention on Saturday at Royal Albert Palace in Edison, Save Jerseyans.

We had about 800 delegates and guests in attendance, and the energy was sky-high as Governor Chris Christie walked into the room.

Middlesex County GOP Chairman Senator Sam Thompson spoke about the Governor for some time, and announced the actual arrival of the state’s most famous Republican. Councilwoman Lucille Panos actually introduced the Governor, and the speech that followed touched us all and left few dry eyes in the house.

In part of his speech, Governor Christie recounted his experiences in the immediate wake of Superstorm Sandy, and his love for New Jersey couldn’t have come across any clearer. You could feel how this storm caused him much pain, as it did for all of us living in New Jersey as we watch our family and friends struggle and fight for survival.

If you weren’t lucky enough to be there to hear the Governor, here’s the heart of his speech:

Alonso Triumphs in LD38

LD38 Tie Broken: Alonso 143, Driscoll 130

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

Fernando AlonsoHabemus Senate Nomineeum, Save Jerseyans!

After last week’s convention vote resulting in a shocking 120 to 120 tie, Fernando Alonso finally prevailed over John Driscoll at tonight’s LD38 re-vote, winning 143-130. That means 33 more committee members showed up this time than for the original vote.

I like the enthusiasm!

Alonso is now the presumptive GOP nominee to face Sen. Robert Gordon (D-38) this November.

We wish him the best of luck forging forward.

Who Will Select Their Candidate First: The Cardinals in Rome? Or the LD38 GOP Committee Members in North Jersey?

By James Beattie | The Save Jersey Blog

The world is fixated on the papal conclave in Rome, Save Jerseyans, but there’s an equally indecisive election transpiring right now in Northern New Jersey.

In the buildup to an unprecedented re-convention in District 38 after last week’s shocking tie vote, surrogates in both Fernando Alonso’s and John Driscoll’s respective camps are making a final push to rally members in the County Committee to their causes, a large group which is comprised of representatives from the communities of Bergenfield, Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Hasbrouck Heights, Lodi, Maywood, New Milford, Oradell, Paramus, River Edge, Rochelle Park, and Saddle Brook in Bergen County as well as the municipality of Hawthorne in Passaic County.
