OPINION: Sometimes it is time for change. This is one of those times.

Atlantic County Republican Chairman Don Purdy has been a tremendous partner and friend in important political battles. Don has my full support as he seeks the position of New Jersey Republican National Committeeman.

While President Trump may be somewhat of a long shot to win New Jersey in the 2024 General Election, it is still important that we unify the Republican ranks and support President Trump’s efforts. My friend Don Purdy is unafraid to lead and will bring new energy to the role of Republican National Committeeman.

New Jersey Republicans have been served well in the past in this position. But it is time to show support for our Presidential candidate and move to a new generation of leadership in Chairman Don Purdy. Don will bring a new and welcomed level of engagement between our Republican National Committeeman and County Republican Chairs and others. We need an aggressive advocate for New Jersey Republicans in this role and I have no doubt that Don Purdy is that man.

I have known Janice Fields for many years, as have most New Jersey Republicans. Janice has held elective office, served as Mayor and been a leading voice for the advancement of Republican women throughout the state of New Jersey and beyond.

Janice is the right person to fill the open New Jersey Republican National Committeewoman seat. Her combination of intelligence and political skill will be huge assets to all New Jersey Republicans and to her partner, Chairman Don Purdy. Janice Fields has my full support and deserves the support of Republicans throughout our state.

In my opinion, New Jersey Republicans are poised to have the most dynamic and resourceful National Committeeman and National Committeewoman in the country when we elected Don Purdy and Janice Fields to these seats. That means the Republican National Committee will hear our voice and give more respect to our needs and positions.

Sometimes it is time for change. This is one of those times. Chairman Purdy and Mayor Fields have the full support of myself and my State Committee members and other friends throughout the state of New Jersey will be working hard to get Don and Janice elected.
