Monmouth County Republicans have started a social media campaign to raise money GOP State Committeeman John Costigan’s medical care that is not being covered by his insurance and to make some renovations to his home to accommodate his partial paralysis.
Costigan, of Howell and formerly of Hazlet, is a proud and self reliant Marine veteran who remains quiet about his medical condition.
Steve McEnery, former GOP Chairman of Manalapan, started a GoFundMe page to raise money for Costigan’s unpaid medical bills and the renovations to his home. “John is still a proud Marine and would not be looking for a handout, and would be upset with what we are doing; but he needs this support. We can ask for his forgiveness afterwards,” McEnery wrote on the page.
Monmouth GOP Chairman Shaun Golden said in an email blast to Republicans this morning,”John Costigan has always been a close friend to all of us. As some of you might know and others need to be aware, John went in for a medical procedure and experienced complications. Since then, John has been in and out of hospital and rehabilitation facilities and has exhausted insurance options. After all he has done for each of us, he needs our help, and our GOP family is willing to support him.
