Burlington County officially dissents, Save Jerseyans, formally throwing in behind Jack Ciattarelli on Monday evening in his battle to thwart Kim Guadagno‘s gubernatorial primary ambitions.
The endorsement occurred by acclamation.
Burlington’s screening committee backed Ciattarelli on Friday, signaling today’s results in advance. The endorsement also comes in the shadow of a reported conflict between state GOP chairmen (with Layton and Gilmore lining up in opposite corners) over the direction of the party’s future.
Asm. Ciattarelli (R-16) now has the “line” in Mercer, Somerset and Burlington counties.
